Dismal Job Numbers for Law Grads

The ABA releases employment data for 2011 law school graduates—and it looks grim.

As a new crop of hopefuls begins law school in California this season, many graduates from the class of 2011 are still looking for any employment - let alone a job that requires bar passage - according to recent data from the American Bar Association.

We have averaged the employment data from 2011 graduates of ABA-accredited law schools in California, and the results may sober matriculating students - who, on average, are about to amass $100,000 in debt, finds Brian Tamanaha, author of Failing Law Schools.

Employment Lowdown
44.9% have a full-time, long-term position that requires bar passage.
58.4% have a position that requires bar passage.
76.6% have secured some form of employment.
