UC Irvine joins with Chinese university in business and law institute	Top
The University of California, Irvine School of Law will collaborate with a Chinese university to launch the first bilateral U.S.-China center focusing on business and law. Irvine business professor John Graham will lead the institute.
The hard part of law school transparency: Getting grads to answer surveys	Top
Transparency and accuracy in law school employment statistics is a hot topic right now, but some career services administrators believe an element is missing from the debate: how to ensure that recent graduates update schools on their employment status.
Two more disability-bias suits attack the LSAT	Top
Barely a week after a blind man filed suit alleging that the American Bar Association essentially requires a discriminatory test, a would-be LSAT taker with attention deficit disorder on Tuesday sued the Law School Admission Council, which administers the exam.
New deans in San Diego and Boulder — one from private practice	Top
Two law schools named new deans on Monday. The University of San Diego hired Goodwin Procter partner Stephen Ferruolo. The University of Colorado School of Law chose law professor Philip Weiser for its top administrative post.
OPINION: How to teach ethics in law schools	Top
Model Rules of Professional Conduct don't provide answers to many ethical dilemmas; schools should fill in the gaps.
Law school sued over 'false' employment statistics	Top
A 2008 graduate of the Thomas Jefferson School of Law filed a class action in California state court on May 26, alleging that the school committed fraud by misrepresenting the employment statistics for its recent graduates.
Women making 'remarkable' gains in law school deanships	Top
Women made a strong showing in recent law school dean searches, accounting for about 40% of the deans named in recent months. The most recent example was at Texas Tech University School of Law, which announced on Thursday that Darby Dickerson would assume its deanship on July 29.
For spurned schools, law student transfers prove costly	Top
The law school transfer system benefits individual law students, but it's hardly a boon for the less-prestigious schools that invest in promising students only to see them leave following their first year.
What about an Immig-Corps?	Top
We need a structured program for recent law graduates to provide legal services to poor, unrepresented immigrants.
Increased scrutiny for LL.M.s	Top
Sitting for the bar exam may soon be trickier for the thousands of foreign-trained attorneys who take the test each year.
Exit interview: 10th Circuit's Tacha on pay, political labels, Pepperdine	Top
Before leaving the bench on May 31, Judge Deanell Tacha agreed to share some parting thoughts about the judiciary, the U.S. Supreme Court, the news media and her new job at Pepperdine.
New deans appointed at Wisconsin, Arkansas	Top
The University of Wisconsin Law School has named Margaret Raymond, a longtime professor at the University of Iowa College of Law, as its next dean. The University of Arkansas School of Law has announced its new dean will be University of Kansas School of Law's Stacy Leeds.
Boxer has more questions for ABA about law school transparency	Top
U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer is apparently unconvinced that the American Bar Association is pushing hard enough for transparency about potential law students' job prospects. She's asked the organization to widen the scope of pending reforms to the way law schools report job placement and salary data.
Students try to draw Congress into law school transparency movement	Top
A coalition of 55 student bar association presidents wrote on Thursday to a number of U.S. senators proposing legislation requiring the U.S. Department of Education to collect graduate job information statistics directly from law schools.
THE CAREERIST: Fewer women at top schools	Top
Have we been complacent about the supply line of women in the legal profession? Didn't we all assume that women make up around 50% of the students in the nation's law schools — particularly in the top schools? That's just not true.
Stanford Law's new building intended to encourage interaction	Top
The Stanford law faculty is moving on up — to a new, $62 million state-of-the-art building named for 1967 graduate William Neukom.
