About the Class of 2023

87.4% of our Class of 2023 graduates obtained full-time, permanent employment in a law-related position. 92.1% obtained full or part-time employment or continued with further graduate studies.

Types of Jobs Our Graduates Take

One size does not fit all when it comes to careers. Our graduates pursue a variety of post-graduate paths. Traditionally about half of each class goes into private practice, and within that category the majority of graduates in a law firm setting work in offices of two to twenty-five attorneys. Our College continues to attract national talent as a result of the many public interest oriented programs here, including: the Urban Morgan Human Rights Institute, the Ohio Innocence Project and the Jones Center for Race, Gender, and Social Justice. Consequently, public interest work is a popular pursuit of our graduates, while others view business and industry as their destination and assume contract compliance roles, tax, finance, as well as other positions for which a JD is an advantage.
