  i highly doubt it. every school's application is different and is sent separately (although the medium of delivery may be the same) and cas reports are sent only to the schools that you request to be sent.

  in their application, some schools (george washing u and boston college come to mind) ask questions like: "are you applying, or have you applied, to other law schools? if so, please list them."
  i doubt that they'd ask questions like this if they just had easy access to the list of all schools an applicant applied to.

  though, i did hear that deans of admissions are good friends with each other. i met with the u.c. berkeley's dean before, and she said she enjoys spending time with other deans at different law schools. i doubt they'll spend a lot of time talking about specific applicants, though.

  the case might be different for ed admissions. some schools reserve "the right to inform other law schools of the candidate's actions [an admitted applicant fails to comply with the ed requirements]" https://www.law.ucla.edu/admissions/jd-admissions/apply-now/early-decision-program
  but this is getting off to a different topic.
