Is this in indicator of some weird competence of GULC to place profs or just a result of having so many more students then anyone else?

Not a perfect analysis, but for the preliminary results, if you divide by class size:

Y 2%
H 2.3%
S 3.9%
Col 0.7%
Chi 1.5%
NYU 2.4%
V 1.1%
M 0%
P 0.8%
B 0.8%
D 0.5%
C 0.5%
N 0.8%
G 2.1% (1.7% if you include PT enrollment)

Percentages help context, like poster above provided, but so does knowing that there is going to be a lot of volatility to these results from year to year. A good example: UT has placed 2 so far and Michigan has placed 0 so far. By no means should that be used to show UT is better placing at people in academia than Michigan.

Anyone want to try to do a 3 year or 5 year average for this?

On an unrelated note, what's the overlap like with people who have clerkship and people who have VAPs? E.g., is it either-or (if you don't have one you better have the other), or is it largely the same group of people? Are those who get jobs without a clerkship mostly PhDs?

Percentages certainly help. If we could also see how many people from each school applied, compared with how many actually got positions, we'd really be working with something.

This data is basically impossible to compile. The only way this could be done is if AALS started doing this every year in D.C.

The non-clerks are generally PhDs, tax people (most with LLMs), clinical people or foreign hires. You get a handful of domestic non-clerk, non-PhD, non-tax, non-clinical people every year, but it's usually pretty small -- like 10 or so (out of 100+) new hires.

We have this data at least for the t14 in 2011.

Could this explain GULC's over-representation? Their huge tax LLM program and massive LLM program in general is loaded with foreign students.

Sorry I was wrong on the year (not sure if 2011 data is available) but here's 06-08 http://www.concurringopinions.com/archi ... iring.html

Wow, this is great stuff; sorry for being a doubter.
