Here's an early look at Law.com's 2021 Go-To Law School Big Law hiring report, featuring schools 41-50 on our annual ranking of the 50 law campuses that sent the highest percentage of recent graduates on to large firm associate jobs.
The COVID-19 pandemic may have shuttered law school campuses, courthouses and law firm offices across the country, but it didn’t stop Big Law from hiring thousands of new associates in 2020. The nation’s largest 100 law firms hired 4,463 recent law graduates last year—slightly higher than the previous year. Among the 50 schools most popular with those large firms, more than 30 percent of 2020 graduates landed associate jobs, which is the same percentage as 2019. But with the continued uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, future law firm associate hiring seems likely to slow down.
We’ve ranked the top 50 law schools according to the percentage of their 2020 juris doctor graduates who took associate jobs at the largest 100 firms. To comprise that list, we used The National Law Journal’s annual survey of law firms by lawyer head count.
In addition to ranking the top 50 law schools, we present the law schools that saw the most alumni promoted to partner in 2020, which firms hired the most associates, and how each school’s tuition compares to its Big Law placement rate.
