Yale: 72 (35.3%)
Harvard: 270 (47.6%)

Chicago: 110 (53.1%)

Self-Reported Employment Statistics (The percentages are of graduates working at firms with 250+ lawyers, and where a school says that the statistics are of employed graduates, I'm calculating the number based on what they say is the number of employed grads, not just number of grads with jobs that require bar passage.)
Yale: ~69 (35.75% of 193 employed graduates)
Harvard: 332
Stanford: ~98 (54%, 100% reporting from class of 181)
Columbia: Didn't break down their employment by firm size, but if we say that the percentage of those who go to firms who work in firms of 250+ lawyers is about the same as it was in 2010, 68.7% at 250+ / 76.1% at firms = 90%, that would make the overall percentage of 2009 employed grads working at 250+ firms about 75.7% (90% of 84.1% at firms). With 435 employed grads, that would be about 329.
Chicago: ~145 (71.08% of 204 employed graduates)
NYU: ~302 (66.23% of 457 employed graduates)
