Employment Report and Salary SurveyThese statistics for the Classes of 2001-2006 were taken from Career Center employment surveys reported to the National Association for Law Placement (NALP), of which we are a member school. For more than 20 years, NALP has conducted a nationwide survey to gather information on the employment status of graduates from ABA-accredited law schools across the country. Members of each graduating class are asked to complete a standardized questionnaire, and their responses are reported to NALP in February of each year. (A "class" consists of those students graduating in December, May and August.) Employment of UT College of Law graduates has remained consistent during the last decade with at least 95 percent employed (of those seeking employment) within nine months of graduation, a figure which continually approximates or surpasses national rates for legal employment of recent graduates.
