Law school data? ... Save the kittens (6 sad kitties)

Hi everybody,

For those of you who don't know, I'm one of the founders of Law School Transparency and the current executive director. We're sitting on a ton of data that we need entered into our database, but not enough people to enter the data. We would love your help. It's easy, but incredibly important because these data* make a real difference to applicants.

So, do you need volunteer hours with a 501(c)(3) for your sorority, frat, or other organization?

Do you love LST and want to give back?

Are you just bored?

Lots of good reasons to volunteer time. Please do.

If you want to help, PM me with your email address and your LST Score Reports account.

* salary info galore, job offer timing, job source, whether employed grads are still looking for work, all states with employed grads, etc for over 100 schools (class of 2013)

One sad kitty every day until we finish:

My schedule is bonkers (work full-time, teach part-time, plus I like to check in with my wife and daughter from time to time), but I would be willing to chip in where I can.

Still working on apps at the moment, but as soon as I have them all in I'd be willing to help. That wouldn't be for another 2-3 weeks probably though. How long do you anticipate this whole project taking?

suppy, the nice thing about the volunteer work we need now is that you can do it in 20 minute bursts. It may actually help you if you're working on essays. That said, I hope we're finished by then, but at this rate we will not be.

mysojuli, send me a PM with your email and your LST Score Reports username. I will give your account the proper credentials, and then I will have the project manager, Josh, contact you.

You may have already seen this, but LST got a nice shout-out from Jeffrey Toobin in this New Yorker article today: http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-com ... l_facebook

Yep! Pleased with the mention, particularly because I didn't even talk to him before this story ran.
