Social Science Collaborators Available for Assessments Research

Law school assessments have significant consequences in terms of the profession’s diversity, students’ job opportunities, and their mental health.  Despite these high-stakes, little work has been done to empirically test the validity and reliability of existing law school assessments or to develop valid and reliable assessments that test the broad range of skills competent lawyers need. 

To help law professors interested in developing, implementing and publishing empirical work on these issues, SALT has developed the following list of potential social science collaborators. 

Feel free to contact any one listed to see if he or she is interested in collaborating with you on an empirical study involving law student learning or assessment.
