Law Schools That Hire the Greatest Percentage of Their Graduates
The National Jurist (Feb. 13): Bridge to Employment:
Part-time fellowships for recent grads spiked last year as law schools sought to help bridge the gap between graduation and employment. Deans say it is a way to help grads and not an effort to game the system.

- Boston University: 22.0%
- UCLA: 18.6%
- Virginia: 17.0%
- Phoenix: 16.8%
- Vanderbilt: 15.7%
- George Washington: 15.6%
- McGeorge: 15.2%
- Golden Gate: 14.1%
- Florida Coastal: 13.7%
- New Hampshire: 13.6%
- Fordham: 13.3%
- Georgetown: 13.0%
- Cornell: 12.9%
- CUNY: 12.6%
- Chicago: 12.3%
- NYU: 12.2%
- Yale: 12.2%
- Emory: 11.6%
- Case Western: 11.4%

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.

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.
