It's not just a 'guy thing' anymore; law school programs will be different because of who's attending, teaching

Article Abstract:

The number of women and minority law students in 1998 has increased, as has their presence in the upper ranks of teaching and administration in law schools, and this has broadened legal scholarship. Law school statistics from autumn 1998 show that women made up 46% of law school enrollment, up from 44% in 1996 and just 23% in 1975-76. Minorities accounted for 20% of enrollment, up from 16% in 1992-93 and just 8% in 1975-76.
