Statistical Summary For The Class Of 2005
Each December, we send an employment survey to every member of the
previous year's graduating class. The information from these
surveys is compiled and, along with similar data from other law
schools, forms the basis for national statistics. The ABA and the
U.S. News and World Report also use the same information, although U.S.
News uses a different formula in presenting the information.
