Employment data for the graduating law class of 2023, as reported to the American Bar Association Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar by ABA-approved law schools accepting new J.D. students, is now publicly available.

An online table provides select national outcomes and side-by-side comparisons for the classes of 2022 and 2023. Further reports on employment outcomes, including links to individual school outcomes and spreadsheets aggregating those reports, are available now on the ABA Required Disclosures page of the section’s website. Schools can make corrections to their individual school outcomes for the Class of 2023 through June 14. These corrections will be reflected in the Employment Summary Reports that are required to be posted publicly on their websites, as well as on the ABA Required Disclosures page. ...

“The percentage of recent law school graduates employed in full-time, long-term Bar Passage Required or J.D. Advantage jobs has reached its highest level in the past decade,” said Bill Adams, managing director of ABA accreditation and legal education. ...

For the class of 2023, the aggregated school data shows that 30,160 graduates, or 85.6% of the 2023 graduates of the 195 ABA-approved law schools, were employed in full-time, long-term Bar Passage Required or J.D.
