Had an idea for a site that compares law school stats. Spent the last few hours putting together a mock-up on WordPress. Any suggestions for more comparison items?

ETA: btw PT/ST/NP/UE means part-time, short-term, non-professional or unemployed. The field was too large for me to write all of that out.

Bro, this is a legitimately good idea. Why limit it just to law schools?

Not intended to be legal advice, but you might not want to say where your data comes from and also declare that you don't swear by it or smart to rely upon. You don't want to lose any ad revenue you might make.

I'm not getting any figures. If it actually gave me figures I think it'd be pretty cool.


Edit: I'm not so sure about the "stats that matter" thing. That's lol.

For my browser the columns are too wide, unless I take the zoom level down to 125 (usually run it at 175). On sites that compare (like Best Buy) they can usually handle 5 products at a time. Great idea though.

Definitely charge for this service

Great idea!

I think GLUC stats may be off. Isn't their median a 168?

[Dafaq]

Very cool.
In comparison, the Virginia school funded jobs stat is baffling.

I don’t know if this is possible, but is there a way to freeze the first line (where the schools are noted)….like the way Excel freezes the top line?

Looks like you have the most recent fed clerkship placement percentages where it says "% in biglaw"

Obviously very buggy, but a fascinating idea.

I like it.

Columns should be fixed now.

Great idea!

Thanks, fixed.

What browser/OS do you use?

Love this idea, and is very helpful when trying to do a quick compare of the schools I am trying to decide between.

Keep up the good work.

Hate to burst your bubble, but the new version of LST will have this feature too.

Oh yeah I forgot about that

[03152016]

Thanks everyone for trying the site and sending feedback, sorry for the bugs!

When they go live I'll decide whether to continue. In the meantime, I'm up, and I have some cool ideas for features I want to try out.

I'm trying to figure out where the grant percentile numbers are coming from. Help?

Also, just in general, it'd be nice if there were a place on the site that broke down where everything came from and what not.

I like the simple design, though it doesn't seem to like to clear schools when you tell it to (FF 28).

[HRomanus]

Isn't this essentially a cleaner, easier-to-access version of LST data?
