New Research Shows Class of 2023 Employment Outcomes Shatter Records

NALP began tracking employment data in 1974, with the Class of 2023 marking the 50th class that NALP has reported on. This year's Selected Findings reveals that the Class of 2023 crushed four of the primary metrics that NALP has been tracking over the past five decades, setting new records for the overall employment rate, employment in bar passage required/anticipated jobs, and median and average salaries. In addition, private practice employment was at the highest level in more than 30 years.
