By now, we hope you’ve seen the top 50 schools in the 2019 Go-To Law Schools special report—the schools with the highest percentage of law grads taking first-year associate jobs in Big Law.
In today’s conversation, Law.com editor in chief Leigh Jones and Law.com legal education editor Karen Sloan take a closer look at additional information from the survey, first at tuition and second at specific hiring trends.
Generally speaking, the nation’s priciest law schools tend to also be feeders into those well-paying Big Law associate jobs. But high tuition and Big Law jobs don’t always go hand-in-hand, so we’re exploring the outliers.
We’re also taking a look at hiring trends among the largest firms, pinpointing which firms hired the most new associates in 2018 and from which campuses those firms recruited most heavily.
For details and insight, follow the discussion below between Jones and Sloan, which starts at 11 a.m., EDT, on March 14. Email us if you have questions you'd like us to tackle: ljones@alm.com and ksloan@alm.com. Thanks for joining the discussion!
