Employment Statistics

How do we go about ensuring that the right practice opportunities will be there for our graduates? Targeted, sustained outreach with leading employers across all employment sectors, and personalized individual work with each student.

We focus on the future of law, making sure we are abreast of a rapidly changing professional environment by regularly meeting with employers across all sectors, keeping them informed about developments at the School of Law and our students’ qualifications, and listening to what they need from new grads to ensure we incorporate the development of those skills into our students’ law school experience.

We partner with each student from day one. Our professional attorney-advisors, all of whom are JDs, have deep practice experience and offer expert guidance to help students be practice-ready in whatever employment sectors they want to pursue.
