Law school league tables (BVC, LPC and GDL)

QEDlaw is fantastic news as it is wishing to publish the full results of various law schools and course providers.

To quote from them directly:

The information will show

1. The total number of the students enrolled on each of the university’s full time GDL, LPC and/or BVC in the academic years 1997/8 and 2007/8
2. The number awarded a ‘pass’ at the first attempt in 1998 and 2008
3. The number awarded a ‘distinction’ at the first attempt in 1998 and 2008
4. The number awarded a ‘commendation’ at the first attempt in 1998 and 2008
5. The number failing / failing to complete the course at the first attempt in 1998 and 2008.

I looked for this information when I applied, but I could not find it.

Given that I feel that when making potentially expensive, yet risky, decisions a person should have as much information as possible, this is a very welcome idea.
