According to these statistics from the American Bar Association, the percentage of female J.D. candidates declined from 47.5% in 2005-2006 to 46.90% in 2006-2007. The drop is attributable to a decline in 1L female enrollment (46.90% in 2005-2006 vs. 46.30% in 2006-2007). Overall J.D. enrollment increased.
