George Washington University Law School sent nearly 23 percent of its class of 2012 into jobs paid for by the school itself. Rutgers School of Law Camden sent the largest percentage of its class to state court clerkships. The College of William and Mary Marshall-Wythe School of Law sent more than 34 percent of its graduates into government and public interest jobs.
Those are among the thousands of nuggets of information contained in a data trove released recently by the American Bar Association. During the past two years, the ABA has significantly increased the amount and detail of information it requires law schools to report about job placement. It also has worked to get the information to the public much faster the better to guide law school applicants.
