Just a bit of a repeat of our last message, that the last six years we have been fortunate to receive and publish exclusive data for law school applicants. You can find us generally linking data like the below at two forums: LawSchool.Life and the Law School Admissions Subreddit. But as we may not always be able to be as prompt on boards, you can also always get immediate data and rankings releases at our Twitter.

UPDATE: 6/8/2018 This is the new cycle data as of June 8, 2018. Applicants are up 8.4%, and applications are up 9.0% compared to last year's data as of June 8, 2017.
