Employment Data
About the Class of 2024
84.62% of our Class of 2024 graduates obtained full-time, permanent employment in a law-related position as of March 17, 2025. 93.1% obtained full or part-time professional 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.

*Information on employment outcomes for the Class of 2020 may not reflect a particular law school’s typical results in this area. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, bar admission exams were canceled or delayed in many jurisdictions, thus making it more challenging for graduates to secure employment by the annual Graduate Employment Status Date of March 15.
