Jerry Organ (St. Thomas), Astonishingly Strong Employment Outcomes for the Class of 2024:
The ABA will be releasing data on employment outcomes for 2024 graduates of all ABA-accredited law schools in the coming days. But I went and gathered the data from all ABA-accredited law schools to see how things turned out for the class of 2024, and the results are stunning! Absolutely, unbelievably stunning!!
Across all ABA-accredited law schools outside of Puerto Rico, the number of graduates between 2023 and 2024 increased by 3,710, from 34,845 to 38,555, but the number of graduates in full-time, long-term bar passage required [FTLT BPR] jobs increased by even more — 3,731 — from 27,854 to 31,585! …
[G]iven that the number of law graduates will be smaller in 2025 and 2026 than for the class of 2024, any decline in the number of FTLT BPR jobs available for graduates likely will be counterbalanced by having fewer graduates.
