About the Class of 2022

Second in the State! 92.3% of our Class of 2022 graduates obtained full-time, permanent employment in a law-related position.

The same class boasted a nearly 97% overall employment within 10 months of graduation (#1 in the state of Ohio).

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 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. Still, others view industry as their destination and assume contract compliance roles, tax-finance, as well as other positions for which a JD is an advantage.
