LawCrossing finds over 20,700 legal jobs for law students across the nation
September 07, 2011
Pasadena, CA — While applications to law schools are down about 10 percent in 2011 nationwide, there is also a decrease in the level of employment rate for post graduate students. The first-year fall enrollment at the University of Missouri is down by 11 percent and applications by nearly 17 percent. A 12 percent decline in the enrollment rate in Washington University, St. Louis shows the lessening interest of students for enrolling in law school at flagship public universities. A substantial decrease in the new student enrollment has been reported in the University of California-Los Angeles by 16 percent, while in the University of Michigan by 14 percent. People have started understanding that this is not just a year's economic decline but rather an extended crisis. People realize that going to law school and get rich quickly is not a child's play. By and large, 87.4 percent of the class of 2010 had any sort of job after nine months of graduating which is low 15-year. These serious figures have encouraged plenty of core-searching in the legal academy, so as the schools provide exact job-placement data. LawCrossing has 20,700+ jobs for law students, of which 600 + jobs are in Missouri, 740+ jobs in California- Los Angeles, as well as over 1,450 jobs in Michigan.
