2010 Princeton Review Law School Rankings: Which Students Study the Most (and Least)?

Last week, I blogged the lists of the Top 10 law schools in eleven categories posted on Princeton Review's web site in connection with its publication of the 2010 edition of Best 172 Law Schools (with the University of Cincinnati College of Law on the cover).  The rankings are the result of Princeton Review's survey of 18,000 students at the 172 law schools, along with school statistics provided by administrators.

I have extracted from the individual profiles of the 172 law schools all of the available data to rank the schools in six categories. I will report each day on one of the ranking categories.

Hours of Study Per Day. From our student survey. The average number of hours students at the school report studying each day.

Here are the law schools where students study the most and the least per day:

Ten schools did not report this data to the Princeton Review:  Appalachian, Ave Maria, Charleston, CUNY, Florida International, Phoenix, Rutgers-Camden, St. Thomas (Minneapolis), SUNY-Buffalo, and UNLV.

Unfortunately, the Princeton Review did not release the response rate per school, so it is impossible to determine how the rankings are affected by each school's representation among the respondents.
