Survey of Law School Faculty: Trends in Funding for Legal Research and Scholarship 2021-22 Edition

This report looks closely at support for law school faculty research funding. While this funding is far less important than in the hard sciences, it is still a significant factor in law school research and in the attractiveness of particular themes and law schools for legal scholars.

The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: how much financial are legal scholars getting from government, foundation and higher education sources to support their research? How many grants are they applying for? What are the leading fund providers? What is the outlook for grant support in the near future? How helpful is the law school or general university grant and research support office? Which services offered by the law school or university have been the most helpful and effective? How much time do legal scholars spend attracting grant support?
