Rankings
season
is
upon
us,
and
we’ve
got
some
employment
statistics
for
you
to
feast
your
eyes
upon
if
you’d
like
to
see
which
law
schools
will
give
graduates
the
best
bang
for
their
buck
when
it
comes
to
putting
their
degrees
to
good
use.
The
American
Bar
Association
recently
released
new
employment
data
for
the
Class
of
2023,
and
thanks
to
an
analysis
made
by
Reuters,
we
now
know
which
law
schools
sent
the
highest
percentage
of
graduates
employed
in
full-time
law
jobs
requiring
bar
passage.
The
class
of
2023
struck
gold
when
it
came
to
employment,
with
85.6%
of
graduates
landing
full-time,
long-term
jobs
requiring
bar
passage
or
for
which
a
JD
provides
an
advantage
within
10
months
of
being
handed
their
degrees.
Just
5%
of
2023
graduates
were
unemployed
and
looking
for
work.
Without
further
ado,
these
are
the
top
10
schools
for
employment:
-
UVA:
97.18% -
Michigan:
95.44% -

How
did
UVA
manage
to
come
out
on
top
for
the
second
year
in
a
row?
From
Reuters:
Kevin
Donovan,
Virginia
Law’s
senior
assistant
dean
for
career
development,
said
on
Wednesday
that
legal
employers
recognize
its
graduates
are
“uniquely
prepared,
both
intellectually
and
in
the
more
human
sides
of
the
law.”
Congratulations
to
all
of
these
top
schools
on
helping
their
graduates
get
top
jobs.

us
