 \u003Cbr>By Professor Robert Berry  \u003Cbr>In the early Fall of 1982,we administered a ques-  \u003Cbr>tionnaire to our entering first year class that was  \u003Cbr>aimed chiefly at discovering something about the  \u003Cbr>process by which people decide to go to law school  \u003Cbr>and,in particular,to attend Boston College Law  \u003Cbr>School.You will recall that was the year of the  \u003Cbr>\"bulge\",where we had over 320 entering students.  \u003Cbr>That fact alone suggested we find out more about  \u003Cbr>why we were suddenly so popular.  \u003Cbr>The results of the 1982 survey were interesting,  \u003Cbr>though far from conclusive.Bob Bloom and I  \u003Cbr>thought,however,it would be a good idea to repeat  \u003Cbr>the administration of the questionnaire with this  \u003Cbr>year's entering class,to see if there were any  \u003Cbr>discernible patterns or deviations from patterns  \u003Cbr>detected three years ago.With the assistance of  \u003Cbr>Mark Brodin,both first year sections responded  \u003Cbr>—128 from section one,and 122 from sectiontwo.  \u003Cbr>(The responses in section one were down slightly,  \u003Cbr>since the questionnaire was given the day of the  \u003Cbr>\"bomb scare\"and several students never made it  \u003Cbr>to what remained of my 10 o'clock class;thus their  \u003Cbr>attitudes about coming to law school are forever  \u003Cbr>lost-such is life.)  \u003Cbr>The atmosphere at BCLShas played a major role  \u003Cbr>What follows is a breakdown of the responses  \u003Cbr>in attracting students.  \u003Cbr>elicited from this year's questionnaire.In most of  \u003Cbr>the tables,a comparison is made between this  \u003Cbr>The respondents were further asked to identify  \u003Cbr>year's results and those in 1982.The percent of  \u003Cbr>their profession,if there was one.No real patterns  \u003Cbr>students responding in a particular way is the key,  \u003Cbr>could be detected from the responses.Eleven in  \u003Cbr>since the raw numbers vary,with 321 responding  \u003Cbr>the class(4.5%)were teachers of one sort or  \u003Cbr>in 1982 and 250 in 1985.The most noteworthy  \u003Cbr>another,andten(4%)were paralegals.After that,  \u003Cbr>aspect of comparing the responses of the two years  \u003Cbr>the figures are almost random:five in sales,four  \u003Cbr>is the similarity in results.Very few significant  \u003Cbr>in the military,four accountants,three each were  \u003Cbr>deviations occur.This is not to suggest there are  \u003Cbr>reporters,in politics,computers or insurance.Then  \u003Cbr>no changes;but,overall,there are few surprises.  \u003Cbr>there were one or two who had been in such as  \u003Cbr>Boston College Law School continues to enjoy  \u003Cbr>publishing,the restaurant business,libraries,  \u003Cbr>a high volume of admissions applications.If we  \u003Cbr>medicine,psychology and other disciplines.  \u003Cbr>can maintain this pattern,all should be well.But  \u003Cbr>As to the decision to attend law school being a  \u003Cbr>we must realize that such will not necessarily con-  \u003Cbr>very recent one,the 63 affirmative responses(25%)  \u003Cbr>tinue,given the clear national trends of declining  \u003Cbr>continue to constitute a healthy proportion of the  \u003Cbr>applications.Thus,we should study our strengths  \u003Cbr>first year class,as did the 72(22%)in 1982.The  \u003Cbr>and capitalize on them.Hopefully,these question-  \u003Cbr>three percent difference in the two years'results  \u003Cbr>naire results help us better understand our  \u003Cbr>suggests a close similarity in the decision process,  \u003Cbr>institution.  \u003Cbr>rather than any real difference.  \u003Cbr>The questionnaire elicited responses about four  \u003Cbr>Our students continue to apply to several law  \u003Cbr>general areas,including:(1)background informa-  \u003Cbr>schools,although one interesting difference can be  \u003Cbr>tion on where the responder did his/her undergrad  \u003Cbr>noted between the 1982 and 1985 results.The  \u003Cbr>work,to what shcools the person applied,to what  \u003Cbr>average number of law school applications submit-  \u003Cbr>schools the p","cbCairDmusPNiSk0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairDmusPNiSk0","pdf",4273160,"English","# Why Do Students Attend BCLS?\n## Questionnaire purpose and comparison with 1982\n## Response overview and professional backgrounds\n## Admissions applications and decision to attend\n## Survey focus areas and background information","[{\"question\":\"What main areas does the questionnaire investigate?\",\"answer\":\"It covers background information about undergraduate study and prior activities, reasons for deciding to attend law school, primary factors leading students to attend BCLS, and reasons for applying to BCLS in the first place.\"}]","Vol.VI - No.4 - Why Do Students Attend BCLS?
