Intro:

Hello!

This site is intended to host several dashboards I created in Power Bi, that uses publically-available data to, hopefully, assist in the law school application process. Above are the links to various versions of this dashboard, each serving a different purpose. SRB Version: Data repository of what appears to be the most commonly-relevant data regarding law school admissions and outcomes, of the last 10 years. Years, schools, and data points can be sorted and filtered to, hopefully, give you more accessible insights into the information contained in the ABA disclosures.

Dynamic Ranking: This version allows for the dynamic ranking of schools. What this means is that several data sets, including employment outcomes, average COA, USWNR rank, etc, have been set to interact with sliding values that you assign. By assigning more, or less, "weight" to each metric, you can, essentially, create a customized (and extremely "lite", to be clear) version of the USWNR/ATL/etc., rankings list. This list, however, will be generated based on the importance of various values to you, specifically. In the near future, this will be applicable to either the current year only, or the average of these values for the current year, and preceeding two years.

Mobile Version: A lighter version of the SRB dashboard, that will give basic functionality on mobile devices. Dynamic ranking on mobile is not currently supporting, but will be coming in the near future.

These tools are, to be clear, nothing groundbreaking, but hopefully additional tools that will be helpful.

The various versions can be accessed either through the page navigation bar at the top of this page, or the links provided above.

Usage instructions are provided on each page.

So that's it; thanks for taking a look, hopefully you find it helpful, and feel free to contact me with suggestions or feedback!

Welcome & How To Use The Tool (Updated 20230430)

Hello! This site is intended to host the data dashboard I created in Power Bi, that uses publically-available data to, hopefully, simplify the Law School application process. Below you will find instructions for using this dashboard ("The Tool"). This is not anything groundbreaking, but it will hopefully be useful for anyone trying to make informed decisions about where to apply. Should this gain any amount of interest, I'll add additional features on request/as I learn more about Power Bi. For the time being, however, here is a quick summary of features: - Aggregate data from ABA required disclosures from 2012 to 2022 - sorting and filtering by specific data (i.e. rank by BigLaw/Federal Clerkship outcomes, rank by 2022 median LSAT, rank by primary employment location, etc) - filter by year Like I said, nothing groundbreaking, but hopefully helpful. The tool can be accessed either by clicking "Show More" at the bottom of this post, or, in case you a...

Dynamic Rankings Enabled

As of today, I've managed to establish a workaround for the lack of end-user input on Power Bi. I'll post a more detailed guide on usage once I finish tweaking the system, but the best version of Dynamic Ranking is now available to start using, on the "Dynamic Ranking" page. Essentially, use the four weight sections to set the importance of each data field to you, personally. As you change these weights, you will notice the chart shifting around. This occurs as the Final Dynamic Rank shifts. To sort the schools based on your personal desires, simply click the "Final Dynamic Rank" header; the schools will be arranged from 1 to 196 in the order with which they meet your requirements. As I iron out the last few kinks, I'll be adding in additional metrics, so please feel free to reach out and let me know if there are critical data points you feel most impact your decision making process!
