Summary

The data for this study were collected in 1960 at 15 law schools in several states in Brazil. The study gathered family background data, including age and education of the respondents' siblings, national origins of parents and grandparents, education of parents, occupation of father, and social class of the respondents' families. The respondents' pasts were further explored through questions about their motivation for choosing law as a field, subjects other than law that they had studied, and average grades obtained. In addition, the study probed occupational intentions, frequency of travel abroad, voting participation, desirability of student political activity, and the respondents' involvement in student politics. Demographic information covers the respondents' age, gender, marital status, and city and state of birth.
