<p>Younger Law Students Report More Collaboration and Older Students More Diligence in Survey of Engagement</p>
<p>In their first year, students 27 and younger were more likely to collaborate with classmates on assignments, participate in campus organizations, and spend time exercising and socializing, the survey found. Younger third-year students reported greater gains, as a result of their law-school careers, in personal-development categories like “speaking clearly and effectively” and “understanding yourself.”</p>
<p>Students at public law schools were more likely than those at private ones to participate in campus activities and organizations and to interact with peers from diverse backgrounds, according to the report. On the other hand, students at private schools were more likely to report that their exams were challenging and that they worked harder than they thought they could to meet instructors’ expectations.</p>
