The median starting salary for new law graduates is determined by
log(salary) = B, + B,LSAT + B2GPA + B3log(libvol) + B4log(cost)
+ Bgrank 1+ E
where LSAT is the median LSAT score for the graduating students, GPA is the
median university GPA for the class, libvol is the number of volumes in the
institution law library, cost is the annual cost of attending university to read law,
and rank is a ranking for the institution offering the law degree (with rank 5 1
being the best).
