摘要

统一律师考试（UBE）是一项多司法管辖区的考试，法律系学生可以利用它在37个州和地区获得律师资格。尽管UBE几乎具有普遍适用性，并且有可能影响法学院的招生、多样性、可负担性和就业结果，但迄今为止，没有任何研究考察UBE的影响。配备了我们提供给未来研究人员的新数据集，我们应用差异设计，通过利用各州采用UBE时间的差异来估计这些影响。我们发现早期证据表明，UBE州的法学院在采用UBE后收到了更多的申请，总体入学率更高，从而受益。

The Effect of the Uniform Bar Examination on Admissions, Diversity, Affordability, and Employment Across Law Schools in the United States

The Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) is a multijurisdictional test that law students can use to gain admission to the bar in 37 states and territories. Despite this near-universal applicability and the potential of UBE to affect law schools’ admissions, diversity, affordability, and employment outcomes, no research to date has examined the impacts of UBE. Equipped with a novel data set that we make available to future researchers, we apply a difference-in-differences design to estimate these impacts by exploiting variation in UBE adoption timing across states. We find early evidence to suggest that law schools in UBE states benefited by receiving more applications and having higher overall enrollments after UBE adoption.

期刊介绍： Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis (EEPA) publishes manuscripts of theoretical or practical interest to those engaged in educational evaluation or policy analysis, including economic, demographic, financial, and political analyses of education policies, and significant meta-analyses or syntheses that address issues of current concern. The journal seeks high-quality research on how reforms and interventions affect educational outcomes; research on how multiple educational policy and reform initiatives support or conflict with each other; and research that informs pending changes in educational policy at the federal, state, and local levels, demonstrating an effect on early childhood through early adulthood.
