NJ CoverThe National Jurist (Feb. 13):  Bridge to Employment:

Comments

According to blog commenters (i.e., one step down from gossip), GWU suffers from the fact that the DC legal market is saturated. Lots of people come there from elite schools.

Doesn't this list contain a lot of surprises? I didn't know the jobs picture was that bad at Virginia, Georgetown, UChicago, NYU, and Yale.

I can't wait to see how quickly these "programs" dry up after the U.S. News Rankings methodology (correctly) begins counting these folks as unemployed.

The bridge will collapse swiftly, and knowing law schools, be replaced with something more difficult to detect. Sigh.

Notre Dame has employed grads like Manti Te'o has a girlfriend.
