NYLS students recently received an email from LSSSE (Law School Survey of Student Engagement) asking you to complete the survey on your thoughts about legal education and your experiences in law school. The Library hopes you will participate and complete the survey by the deadline of Friday, April 19th.  The LSSSE survey is anonymous and is centered on providing insights about student viewpoints on legal education and their law school experiences.  This information is very helpful to NYLS in making sure that our programs focus on areas of importance to you and your colleagues.  We hope you will use the link provided in your NYLS email and complete the survey. If you would like more information on LSSSE, visit their website.
