Staffing for Law School Computing Services, Second Edition

Introduction

The Staffing for Law School Computing Services survey was completely revised during the spring semester of 2006. No data from prior questionnaires were used in this revision. If the law school you are looking for is not represented in the table, it is because that law school has not yet replied to the questionnaire or we have not yet had time to post the reply on our web page. Results of the survey are reported in three tables. The first table represents answers to questions 1-5 and 8-10. Questions 6 and 7, which ask for textual answers, are represented in thesecond table. The third table shows the free text comments made by some of the respondents to the survey. If a respondent wrote comments, an asterisk appears in the column with the letter which describes how computing is administered at that law school. It is surprisingly difficult to distill all the varieties of administration into discrete categories. The categories in the original questionnaire are:

  1. All computing is administered through the law library_____.
  2. All computing is administered through the law school_____.
  3. Law library and law school computing are administered through two separate departments within the law school_____.
  4. All computing is administered through a university department_____.
  5. All computing is outsourced to a vendor (not the university)_____.
  6. Some combination of the above choices (please explain).
A number of respondents chose more than one category and others selected f and gave extensive comments. I sometimes recorded answers in another category if it seemed obvious from the comments that it belonged there, but for clarity's sake, I included all comments in Table 3.

Each table includes data from out of law schools. Each table is organized by state, then alphabetically by university name (or law school name in the case of free standing law schools). All accredited law schools are listed, even if they did not participate in the survey. Non-participants are encouraged to become participants, and participants are encouraged to send revisions at any time a change occurs. I revise the table monthly if necessary. The most efficient way to report is by dropping a note to me at apuckett@uga.edu. Click here for a copy of the questionnaire and instructions for completing it.

Thank you for using the Staffing for Law School Computing Services survey.
