waiting for my tt UG school's stats to come out so I can convince a friend of mine not to go.

Stanford

https://www-cdn.law.stanford.edu/wp-con ... tats-1.pdf

Total grads: 183
Biglaw: 92 = 50.2%
Fed Clerkships: 45 = 24.5%

74.7% in BL/FC

(side note: Stanford does a great job detailing where its "JD Advantage"/PI graduates go. Kudos to them.)

Yeah it's definite proof that at top schools (but who knows how top) business/industry jobs are actually legit.

Agreed, the greater transparency on opaque outcomes is welcomed. I think you might see (to a lesser degree) this holding true at most of the T13. It's probably not as rosy as you go down the list, but it's nice to see the quantifiable difference in non BL+Art. III outcomes at this tier with some possibility of extrapolation.

Thats fine with me. Given that Yale usually has a lower BL+FC rate (because unicorn jobs), it is now at least likely if not almost guaranteed that Duke will have the highest combined number (if we assume UVA's data posted earlier is correct).

Uh no CLS and Chicago will very likely be higher.

I feel like Chicago will (they had 83% last year). but I agree with DPV.

Guessing CC goes to 80+ with N in the low 70s.

Okay okay

CCDYHSPV is fine with me too

Can't see N getting much higher than mid low/mid 70s with ~10% of each class being JD-MBA.

Lol, also having a fucking class of 500.

ABA should cap enrollment at 300 for all schools.

I see a confusion of N's going on here.

100%. I just had an "Oh" moment after reading the comment about a class of 500.

[jbagelboy]

Whoa. Very strong showing so far for c/o 2016. UVA at 77%!

[Npret]

Congrats everyone. This is getting to pre ITE levels. It's not primarily the schools it's the market. Schools can place when there are jobs. Looks like jobs are back. My old firm is over 100 SAs in NYC which is basically the old days level.

Great news considering govt public hiring may be way down again outside certain areas. That's just politics.

Edit: 0Ls don't get cocky though. You still have to get the job. School cant hand it to you. But it's so much better than the past.

BU's not *live* but messing around with the link got me the tentative info as of March 15.

https://www.bu.edu/law/careers/employme ... 6-testing/

2015 2016 Difference
Big Law. 70. 78. +8
Fed Clerk. 2. 2. --
Total Grads 208. 222. +14
Percentage. 34.6%. 36%. +1.5%

10% increase since Class of 2013.

ETA: went through and tried this for the rest of the t14 and several others, but didn't work.

[thereelfeels]

Dickinson - 3/34 - 8.8% (+5.3%)

[Rigo]

Are you doing this right? I get Dickinson has small class sizes but 34 seems abnormally small. You should divide by the total grads, not just the employed grads.

That link doesn't work, requires a login?

How should current 0L's interpret this data? Since there's about a year and a half until we go through OCI?

You should use this data in deciding what schools provide the best shot at biglaw or clerkships. The only outlier of the general placement trend is CLS, which has a subpar clerkship office, but anyone with good grades and hustle can still land clerkships.

A single year's data isn't as important as trends. Once the data is out and I have free time I will post a chart that shows 3 year trends. That trend data is more important than a single year data point.

lol Nebby

What makes you think the offices at Cornell/UPenn/NU aren't similarly "bad" and deflating the clerkship numbers? (or that Chicago's/Harvard's clerkship offices are operating/placing students at their full potential?) Weird, unfounded comment to make.
