3466.3 Assessment
Research Question (Clear, unambiguous) "What drives law students to choose one career path over another?"  This question is probably two broad ("what drives" covers everything), but otherwise is a reasonable research issue.
Relevant Literature You should find more directly useful material on legal careers than Bourdieu's work (although consulting it may be valuable).  The legal profession has attracted a fair amount of studies over time.
Causal Interpretations (clear, all parts defined, mechanisms, controls, plausible) The independent variables mentioned are okay, but seem to be a catch all list.  It would be better to review studies of the profession to discover what is known, isolate what past research shows might matter, and consider how you can go beyond that with the available data.  It would help if you could distill it into an interesting causal question.
Data (variables, sample, comparison) The After the JD data are plausible for this project.  You need to find how they have already been used to discover what room there is for you to do something different.
Research Value The discussion of research value in general terms is okay, but this needs to show how the intended research will go beyond that previously done.
Overall If properly focused and build on past research, this could be a reasonable study.
