This study presents the results of a survey of US law school faculty about their law school's management. The representative study presents their views on hiring full time and adjunct faculty, awarding tenure, law school asset sales and tuition abatement plans, and on other issues regarding the law school budget. Among the other issues covered: their opinion of how well law school management is handling fundraising, alumni relations, promotion, facilities management, library services, international and domestic student recruitment, and special events management. In addition, faculty were asked to evaluate management's efforts to foster grants and other financial support for faculty research, to publicize faculty research and achievements, and to furnish top line information technology support. Faculty also give their views on the apparent relaxation of student admission standards at many law schools and what this means for the future of the profession. In addition, faculty offer their opinions on what exactly they like and don't like about their law school management, and where they would like to see their law schools go in the future. Many cite specific laws schools and policies worthy of emulation. 111 Faculty from 36 US law schools participated in the survey.Just a few of the many findings from this 90-page perfect bound report are: *About 51% of interviewees older than 60 think that their institutions' management generally is more able than that of other law schools, while only 22% of the respondents aged 30-39 believe so.*About 32% of the respondents think that their law schools should "increase faculty compensation in line with past increase", while only 14% believe that their law schools should "work to reduce faculty compensation costs along with other cost reduction measures."*About 76% of the respondents from public law schools are satisfied with the overall quality of special events management at the law school, while only 60% of their colleagues from private law schools feel the same way.

This 110-page report presents detailed data and commentary drawn from law school faculty from more than 60 law schools about their use of law school and other digital repositories. The study defines how faculty use law school and other digital repositories, answering with hard data questions such as: what percentage of law school faculty have deposited a journal article into a repository? A book? Newspaper and magazine articles? Blog posts? Videos of classroom lectures? Other forms of intellectual property? How do faculty use repositories in research and teaching? Do they use the repositories of law schools other than their own? General university repositories?The study also gives detailed information on how faculty assess their law school and other repositories, including assessments of how well the repositories are marketed, how well they help faculty with obtaining permissions, how well they report usage data and other repository services to faculty. Just a few of the report¿s many findings are that: Close to 66% of the law faculty sampled said that their law school administration or law library maintain a digital repository. Faculty from law schools ranked in the top 40 were somewhat more likely than others to say that their law school administration or library maintains its own digital repository and 77.78% of them felt that this was the case.Public law school faculty were much more likely than private law school faculty to have deposited a book into a law school repository; 16.13% of the former but only 5.77% of the latter had done so.Nearly 29% of faculty sampled had used the digital repositories of other universities.For law schools with fewer than 455 enrolled students more than 30% of faculty thought their law schools or libraries inefficient or highly inefficient in this area; for those with more than 950 students this same figure was 19%.Data in the report is broken out by many useful criteria such as academic title, teaching load, size of law school, law school or university rank and other factors.

This study closely examines law school faculty satisfaction with an array of qualities and initiatives of law school management in the USA.

The study gives detailed data on the nature and extent of law faculty listening to podcasts on legal subjects. The study imparts data on the percentage of law school faculty who listen to legal podcasts daily, a few times a week, weekly or at other intervals.
