&lt;p&gt;The latest to address the lack of law school transparency, the Young Lawyers Division of the ABA has adopted a multi-point resolution, called Truth In Law School Education, pressing law schools to give better, more detailed graduate employment data. Here are four things they want schools to do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;/span&gt; Classify the employment of graduates better so they indicated whether jobs obtained are full- or part-time, in the private or public sector, permanent or temporary, and in the legal profession or an alternative field.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;/span&gt; Place employment information where applicants can easily find it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;/span&gt; Display salary data of graduates, including median salary information by employment type, by state/region, and for all graduates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;/span&gt; Make known the actual cost of law school, on a per-credit basis, and including the cost of living.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And two considerations they urge the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar to make.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;/span&gt;Revise the accreditation standards to require schools to display detailed employment data on the website and other communications materials;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;/span&gt; Use a revised version of the questionnaire that incorporates the provisions of the resolution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;David Yellen, a member of the committee revising the ABA&#39;s questionnaire, told &lt;em&gt;The National Law Journal&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;This resolution is largely consistent with the direction the Standards Review Committee is taking,&quot; said member David Yellen, dean of Loyola University Chicago School of Law. &quot;So although I don&#39;t know whether or how schools will respond to the resolution, I believe that fairly soon most of this data will be required to be disclosed, assuming the [council of the Section on Legal Education] adopts the [committee&#39;s] proposal.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The resolution will be heard by the ABA&#39;s House of Delegates in August.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[The National Law Journal]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[Truth in Law School Education (PDF)]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related: Young Lawyers Demand the Truth about Law Schools&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
