TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - KU Law has been ranked among the best law schools in the nation for employment after graduation.
Data recently released by the American Bar Association shows about 95% of graduates in the Class of 2021 at the University of Kansas School of Law found full-time, longtime legal employment.
The University said KU Law ranks eighth among ABA-accredited law schools in the nation in the category referred to as “best jobs.” It said best jobs are defined as full-time, long-term positions that require passing a bar exam or where a law degree offers an advantage.
KU said overall employment for the Class of 2021 was 96.9%. Compared with all ABA law schools, it said KU Law ranks 21st national for overall employment. It said this is the eighth straight year that KU Law employment has exceeded 90% - including graduates who enrolled in full-time graduate school after completing their Juris Doctor.
“We are encouraged that even in a year when the health crisis continued to take a toll on our economy, our students still achieved excellent employment outcomes,” said Heather Spielmaker, assistant dean for career services at KU Law. “High-caliber instruction and professional development guidance helped produce graduates who were competent and confident, and that clearly resonated with our employers.”
KU said graduates accepted positions with law firms, businesses, government agencies, public interest organizations and judges across the country.
