A couple of weeks ago, the American Bar Association released the results of the 2014 Employment Summary. One thing many of us went to law school for, was the hopes of landing a job at a top-tier law firm.
The American Bar Association breaks down law firms into tiered bands. This year, the total number of students, full & part time, short term and long term, totaled 18,510 of the over 43,000 graduates.
Which school had the highest number of graduates make it into big law?
Columbia University had the most with 331 of the 468 graduates landing jobs at large law firms. This is an increase over the previous year’s 308 graduates. Harvard came in at 310 graduates. See the dashboard below for the full breakdown of the top 25-schools with graduates to land jobs in big law.
