Number employed in "Business and Industry"
I see a lot of data about recent law graduates being employed in "business and industry," instead of "law firms." What does this mean? What kind of work are these recent graduates doing?

Anything from actual business to Starbucks to sanitation.

I figured that, but I find it hard to believe that newbie lawyers can serve as in-house counsel. Usually, in-house lawyers have some experience in firms or other organizations related to that industry.rinkrat19 wrote:Corporations can have in-house lawyers.jjlaw wrote:I see a lot of data about recent law graduates being employed in "business and industry," instead of "law firms."

It means just what it is: Non-law. Except from a handful of schools like Harvard and Yale, these people are not working as lawyers.
