Apendix B
Appendix B (Table 4C, pages 43 through 47) includes updated data showing the gender and minority composition of the cohort of new law faculty for each of the past twelve years. These data should be used to revise data presented in Table 3A and Table 4 in previous AALS Statistical Reports. Data on new law school faculty has been revised in two ways. First, the additional ethnic/racial information had a significant effect on these statistics. Second, the numbers of faculty included as “new faculty” are lower for some years in the revised tables. In previous Reports, some of the “new faculty” data included faculty at new AALS member or fee-paid schools who were not actually new to law teaching. The revised statistics eliminate these individuals from the “new faculty” data. The revised tables show substantial changes (e.g., for 2000-01, the 43.0 percent of “new faculty” with missing ethnic/racial information was reduced to 19.5 percent; and the percentage of minority “new faculty” increased from 18.0 percent to 20.2 percent.
