Yeah I could have done the assorted section differently, but I'm lazy - plus this was time consuming enough as it was.

EDIT to say the list of where the class of 2009 found permanent employment is much more impressive. In hindsight I should have used that list. Oh well. Someone can PM me to ask about it.

EDIT because I posted the entire list

[observationalist]

Aberzombie, is that a full list or a representative list? If it's a full list then Tulane's level of transparency is awesome... very few schools are releasing information on 2L employment, even though as you said it's often the most important indicator since it captures just about everyone who has a chance at biglaw. We were able to go through our list and figure out the %s for different indicators ( ie NLJ250; private firms; major markets)... it could be useful if someone with the full list went through and figured that stuff out.

Even if it's just a representative list, it's still very nice to see them listing non-firm employers so that people know what else is out there. Looks like Houck is still helping people land some sweet enviro gigs around the country as well. I would just caution that if it's only representative, it is likely that it overrepresents the top performers while underepresenting/hiding the people below median. That doesn't apply to this list if it contains everyone.

It's the full list. Sadly you have to log in to be able to see it (which makes no sense to me at all).

I can report where the class of 2009 from Tulane found work if there is an interest in the information (it truly is worthwhile).

As you can imagine, it's time consuming though.

Regardless, I honestly believe Tulane is underrated in the eyes of 0L's that feel like all they need to know is that the school is ranked #45.

I do not enjoy comparing law programs (at least not in a whole concept point of view - generally I need to see it in the form of a comparison [adversary context] because I can't write advisory opinions [SCOTUS Con law joke]), but to say Tulane is not in the cluster of top non T14 private schools is ridiculous (In my mind, that cluster is Notre Dame, USC, Fordham, George Washington, Vanderbilt, Washington U).

EDIT to say that I just realized that I said that I picked a handful in the earlier post - I'm going to remove that statement because it's not true.

Yes Please and thank you

[rowing2009]

I would also be interested in the 2009 employment information..thank you!

No Emory...no W & L?

[sanpiero]

If you think T12-13% is making 140k+ ITE, you are absolutely nuts. If you think that "above median" will get your 120k+, you are even crazier. These figures you cite are for the CO 2007. Pull yourself together

Where is TULANE ????????????????

The most overranked T1s are IUB, UNC and TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTULANE!

[PDaddy]

That's a legit question. Kent, Loyola-Chicago, Howard and Houston all beat Tulane. Makes you wonder.

this chart, which I saw about a week ago, is really making me reconsider if I should put down a deposit to Tulane.

I am going to ask next weekend. I think it might be b/c Tulane is terrible at gathering their grads employment stats, which would mean that they do not have the data to release to the NLJ.

(it is my belief that each school releases that data. I am just wondering, however, if that is a false belief and if the law firms release that data. If the firms are releasing the data then ohh fuckk )

Too bad...
Those data were from law firms, not law schools.
