“Driven by extraordinary demand for talent at the largest law firms, a healthy private practice market propelled strong and in some cases record-setting employment and salary outcomes for this class….This is as strong a set of employment and salary outcomes as I have seen in my more than 18 years here at NALP. The Class of 2021 benefited from the economic rebound and the pent-up demand for legal services that followed the widespread shutdown of 2020.”

— James G. Leipold, National Association for Law Placement (NALP) executive director, reporting on the job market for the law school class of 2021. Employment rates for that class improved by 3.5 percentage points, to 91.9 percent. That matches employment rate of the class of 2007, considered the “high-water mark for a period dating back more than 30 years to the class of 1988.”
