Four and Twenty!

[David Crosby's song might not be the most upbeat,
but it's definitely better than Mother Goose's blackbirds. ]

It's been 24 years since I began helping folks get into law school under the DeLoggio banner, and fourteen since I began sharing my data, insights and opinions here. Every year the web site grows and every year I try to organize, prune, and arrange in an attractive and compact display.

For this anniversary we've managed to review every section of the web page.

We've tried to make the aesthetics a bit more pleasing. 

We've added three completely new sections:

• An overview section, detailing different timelines centered on LSAT dates, as well as addressing the difficult task of choosing law schools and the even more troublesome issue of whether you should attend law school at all;
• A section on LSAT preparation, including learning tips and recommended books;
• And an expanded discussion of Recommendations and Resumes, including the new LSAC Evaluation service.
  

We've also divided two other sections to make them less confusing:

• The old "Choosing Law Schools" and "Data" sections have been rearranged so that the data is linked to the information it refers to in "Choosing," while more general thoughts about choosing the right environment have been moved to a "Preliminary Research" section.
• The old "Timeline" group has been divided into the process of applying and the ordeal of waiting and responding to those confusing emails and letters.

While sprucing up and rearranging, we also got rid of some cobwebs; older data on women in law school has been replaced. We've updated links that LSAC moved around over the year, so you can find important information. We've also made sure the Navigation Map is current. So far as we know, there are no problems lurking in musty corners of the web site.

We've found that a number of newer browsers no longer allow transitional coding  ― .htm and .html are not interchangeable.  To remedy this inconsistency, we've checked thousands of links, to make sure that Thomas Wolfe is wrong on this web page — you can go home again.

As the year progresses, we may find even more cool things to give you: 

• The Grand Tour may include more schools;
• More admissions officers will advise us on special considerations;
• And you may find some animations to lighten the tone a bit.

Like great cathedrals, this web page will never be “finished.” There will always be something new to learn, a better way to explain a point, or a new rule from LSAC, the ABA, or the D.o.E. to revise our thinking.  But as we approach our 25th year, we can confidently say that we again present you with The Most Complete Law School Admissions Web Site Available Anywhere!
