Class of 2016 Employment Statistics by School Forum

[PrezRand]

WUSTL came thru on some Most Improved Player type of shit.

[cannibal ox]

I don't know which is more of a sure thing, UT being below 50% or UT being the last school to release its numbers.

WUSTL following up a dramatic decrease in class size by a dramatic increase (and then not slashing down to 2016 levels) should temper expectations of 0Ls

This interests me, and I really should know more about it. (If this is the wrong thread to ask let me know and I'll move it, but since we're on the topic I have some questions)
It appears that a Federal Clerkship opens the door to basically any legal job you want afterwards. Proletariate says it's "so damn valuable". How exactly is it so valuable and what does it lead to? Just Biglaw? Anything else?
Also why would one take a Federal Clerkship rather than Biglaw if Biglaw is their ultimate goal?
If someone does not intend to take Biglaw, is there still a value to a federal clerkship?
A Clerkship is not covered by an LRAP right? Yale's COAP or Harvard's LIPP might cover it, but otherwise you'll be eating the cost of your student loans during the duration of your clerkship right?

COAP and LIPP do not cover clerkships.

My understanding of UChicago is that they cover clerkships even if you go to BigLaw afterwards.

(Un?)fortunately,Those NYU/Columbia numbers are for the class of 2015, not 2016. Kudos to you for trying to help, though.

I got too excited. I still think that it's 2016.

[registering]

I'm gonna guess very few schools are going to release them over the weekend. Seems like the ones that did saw huge jumps, although if that UChi number is accurate, they're holding out on massive improvement.

I did too, because NYU was at 67% last year, but they exactly match what's on LST right now for 2015 and I think it's highly unlikely that the schools had exact stats like that, especially given the size of the student bodies.

There are 3, maybe 4 admissions staff and they just did admitted students weekend, so they're probably napping/hungover.

[WamBamThankYouMaam]

Miami is up

47 grads in 101+ attorney firms (+9)
2 fed clerks (-5)
323 graduating class (-95)

BL+FC = 15.17% up from 10.79% last year

Overall full-time long term employment is 64.7% (+4.3)

Ouch...

[Rigo]

At least Miami has kept its class size low in the years since. A school like that should not be graduating over 400. Seems like it paid off a bit.

[LawMan16]

GULC's numbers are up: 51.5% BL+FC.

Solid jump

[favabeansoup]

Solid jump

I think "solid jump" is better titled "GULC returns to semi-normal employment outcomes for the bottom T14 after several dismal years."

One good year from the past 4 doesn't not make it a TTT unworthy of T14 designation.

[cheaptilts]

GULC's numbers are up: 51.5% BL+FC.

The difference between GULC and Cornell's numbers are astounding.

[proteinshake]

I feel like GULC would be a real solid option if they cut their class to <400.

[trebekismyhero]

UIUC is up.

36.7% in big law and federal clerkship. Got to be an all time high for them

Dang. That's T20 numbers.

[curry1]

I feel like GULC would be a real solid option if they cut their class to <400.

GULC would collapse if they didn't maintain their gargantuan class size due to their lackluster endowment. It's going to be T13 for the foreseeable future.

Have these numbers been independently verified?
