Abstract

Professional training is a costly undertaking both for the individual being trained and the institution that trains him. Each year, all over the United States, many young men and women embark upon their professional training as potential lawyers; each year many of these same young men and women withdraw from the law program. Some of the students admittedly withdraw because they ascertain that they will not be able to complete their law training due to inability to cope with the material which they are expected to master. Others, fully capable of dealing with the material in the intellectual sense, find that they would rather not continue their law training. The purpose of this study, then, was to attempt to deal with this problem by isolating the correlates of law success, as determined by an individual’s first semester achievement in a school of law.
