Cornell Law School sent a higher percentage of its 2024 law graduates into large law firm jobs than any other U.S. law school, ABA data shows. Read more about which other schools dominated the Big Law hiring market.
The law class of 2024 enjoyed record-high employment 10 months after leaving campus. More than 82% of last year’s juris doctor class landed jobs that require bar admission. That percentage, representing the highest rate ever recorded by the ABA for bar admission jobs, was up from 80% in 2023. That gain is especially notable because last year’s class had nearly 11% more graduates than its predecessor, meaning there were 3,722 more new lawyers competing for jobs.
