Can somebody with a Law.com account copy and paste each of the attached lists? Can't get past the paywall.

Something is very off with these numbers that can't be explained by clerkship numbers.

Columbia: 64%
Penn: 60%
Cornell: 56%
Northwestern: 52%
Duke: 51%
NYU: 51%
UVA: 48%
UC Berkeley: 45%
U. Chicago: 45%
Harvard: 41%

ETA are they just scraping firm websites? They are probably missing NY "law clerks" who aren't up on the websites yet pending admission. Explains why eg NYU is so bonkers.

Right. Chicago can maybe be explained with clerkship numbers or PhD students. Why are NYU and NW so low? A decent number of NW students end up going to McKinsey / banking but not enough to where the BL number would be 52%. They also have poor clerkship numbers historically.

law school transparency has collected this date for years. why not use that?

schools can't mess around in reporting the 500+ attorneys or more metric.

I'm class of 21. I don't know anyone in mbb, a couple of JD MBAs in banking. Definitely a lot more than half in biglaw. Probably more than typical years, there was a boom of post grad hiring this year.

Presumably OP is trying to capture 21 data? LST is based on 20 data. Schools report 9 months in. But better old data than bad data.

This is only for the top 100 law firms by size I think. Some biglaw firms aren’t in that category.

No. It's law firms with 100+ attorneys.

this year, they’re ranked by the percentage of 2021 graduates who took associate positions at the 100 largest law firms based on attorney head count.
