I realize the OT doesn't usually care for law school threads but I thought I would put this out there anyway. The most recent employment figures for 2013 law grads just came out. They are interesting. Check out, for instance, the list of law schools with the highest unemployment rates.

The numbers in the article aren't in a text format or I would. Sorry. Link is to the National Law Journal; it's not some sketchy site where you'll get 50 popup ads.

But if you want the Cliff's Notes, do go to Columbia; do not go to Whittier Law School. But you probably didn't need the article to know that.

That article had no tangible information, I found it as useful as a USNWR article.

I'm not suprised at the louisiana law schools since the Louisiana Bar Exam has the toughest bar passage rate in the nation and Southern has some of the most lax admission standards in the country. Loyola New Orleans, oh how the mediocre have fallen

These things are pointless. Most people considering law school don't give a shite about how well the top schools do and how shitty the worst schools do.

Summary - Don't go to law school unless you get into a Top 14 school.

You have better odds in med school or a top MBA school.

Article breaks down law school numbers into unemployed, underemployed (unemployed or in temporary, non-professional work), big law, and general employment.


Loyola and Southern are among the highest with unemployed grads.
