Abstract

The article proposes a methodology for evaluating the teaching quality of law faculties based on public data on the selectivity of recruitment, graduate earnings and unemployment, and pass rates for bar pupillage. The study was limited to full-time studies at public law faculties. In each category, universities were awarded a specific number of points corresponding to the quartile to which they were assigned. The final position in the ranking depends on the sum of points obtained in each of these categories, with each category being weighted equally. Descriptive statistics were also produced, showing a high degree of homogeneity among universities, regardless of whether they are old or newly established. The only criterion in which statistically significant differences between the two groups were observed was the pass rate for applications. A procedure for creating a complete ranking for the purposes of future teaching evaluation was also proposed. This new ranking would be expanded to include new variables, providing a more complete picture of the quality of education. It would also be possible to apply it to fields of study other than law.
