The 75-page report gives detailed data and commentary from law school faculty, staff and administration about how their law school has responded to the Coronavirus.  The study gives detailed data on the percentage of law schools that have shut down, gone partially or fully online or are exploring such possibilities.  Surveying was conducted between March 12 and March 15, 20   Respondents were primarily law school faculty, deans and, to a lesser extent, staff.

Survey respondents discuss in open ended questions what they like and do not like about how their law schools have adjusted to the Coronavirus. In addition to extensive commentary, the study provides highly specific data on law schools that have formed committees to deal with the virus, and on how faculty view the communications skills of law school management in reaching out to the broader law school community about the Coronavirus.  Survey respondents rate how prepared they are to teach online, and how well their law school’s have helped them to prepare for the new realities.

The study also gives detailed data on the percentage of law schools that have shut down various functions, including classes, lectures, student meetings and even brown bag lunches, among other events and activities.

Just of few of this report’s many findings are that:

• 45% had implemented plans for teaching more classes online
• Lack of preparedness for online teaching was much greater among Top 20 than lower ranked law schools.
• More than 43% of faculty under age 50 were dissatisfied with their law school’s response to the Coronavirus.
• 32.65% of law school respondents had cancelled conferences at the law school

Data in the report is broken out by numerous useful benchmarking criteria such as law school ranking, enrolment size, for public and private institutions, and by personal variables such as gender and age of survey respondent.
