1 The AALS Statistical Report on Law School Faculty and Candidates for Law Faculty Positions (1998-99), prepared by Richard A. White, AALS Research Associate/Data Analyst, reported that of 7,942 persons reporting ehtnicity in the AALS Directory of Law Teachers, 13.3% identified as people of color. This percentage reflects an increase from 10.8% reported minority group law teachers for the year 1991-92 in the AALS Directory of Law Teachers. For further comparison, see Richard H. Chused, The Hiring and Retention of Minorities and Women on American Law School Faculties, 137 U. Pa. L.
