Remember this: When a law school says that "X% of our graduates are employed nine months after graduation" (as of February 15th of the year after graduation), they're not saying that they are employed as attorneys, oh no. Any job counts. If a graduate is working as a barback/swamper at the Bucket O' Blood in Kansas City, that counts as "working." And, of course, there is outright chicanery:
A number of law schools hire their own graduates, some in hourly temp jobs that, as it turns out, coincide with the magical date.The tragically funny thing in the article is all of the law school deans who admit doing things to fudge the data a little bit, but then turn around and say that they are playing by the rules and it's the other schools that are falsifying the rankings.
