The American Bar Association this month released new law school employment data that showed the class of 2017 fared better in the entry-level job market than its recent predecessors.
Within 10 months of leaving law school, 75.3 percent of 2017 graduates landed full-time, long-term jobs that require bar passage or for which a law degree offers an advantage. Those results are up from 72.6 percent for the class of 2016.
