Cannon River Consulting can help law schools conduct analysis designed to address specific needs and concerns related to the bar examination and legal education. Research may include statistical analysis (attendance, academic profile, scores and results on the examination), focus groups, survey research, and interviews. In addition, Cannon River Consulting can also work with your program to develop its own evaluation capacity, so the analysis may eventually be done in-house. Projects may include:

Bar Preparation Program Evaluation: Analyze the ways in which your bar preparation program is helping students pass the bar exam. Includes data related to attendance, academic performance, and student demographics.

First-time Pass Rate Analysis: Help schools identify students who are at risk of failing the bar exam on their first attempt. Statistically compare pass rates and mean MBE scores for specified groups of students. Students may be identified based on variables including course selection, incoming profile, and demographics.
Understanding Non-matriculant Behavior: Phone surveys of targeted groups of non-matriculants to better understand reasons for not choosing your school.

Alumni Perception Survey: Analyze and present data from alumni surveys related to satisfaction, employment, and giving practices.

Diversity Assessment Surveys: Help design and analyze online surveys for students, faculty, and staff about diversity issues on campus.

Student Satisfaction Surveys & Focus Groups: Conduct survey and focus groups to delve further into issues raised by other measures of satisfaction or engagement.
