Class of 2009 Employment Outcomes

These data come exclusively from U.S. News because the magazine provided the best publicly available employment information for this year. Now that schools are more transparent, and the ABA has stepped its game up, we no longer need to rely on a for-profit magazine to get prospective students the information they need to make informed decisions. Prior years of school-specific data are not directly comparable because U.S. News did not publish survey response rates.
