University of Southern California Profile

This page has been formatted to match the ABA's placement summaries, with minor language and stylistic tweaks for clarity. However, the data do not necessarily reflect the data reported by University of Southern California to the ABA because data tend to drift between the various reporting deadlines. As such, the data below reflect data combined and reconciled from up to four different information sources: school websites, U.S. News, the ABA, and NALP. To view University of Southern California's ABA placement chart, please visit the ABA's website.
