I just found this page on the ABA website, which includes a link to download summary data for a comprehensive list of schools. Consider using this data instead of parsing individual pdfs.

I noticed that the CSV data files do not contain information about the school address and website that is contained in the PDF files. Since we're using the school's domain name as its unique identifier for visualization purposes, its important to continue to extract this data.

Given data-creative/law-school-outcomes-ruby#2 (comment) I am going to pursue a strategy of reading all of the PDF files instead of using the CSV data. This process might be less efficient, but because it contains all the necessary school information and only needs to be done once, it seems like the right way forward.
