Best Practices for Legal Education 
The CSale Survey is a tremendous resource. Countless times, as we consider policy or curricular changes, my dean has asked: “what do other schools do?”. We simply consult the CSale Survey and it almost always answers that question. It has saved us a lot of leg work and the information it provides has informed our faculty discussions on a number of important issues. The survey’s compilation of massive amounts of data provides a great service to the academy. Many thanks to the authors and all who helped pull the information together.
