The NALP Foundation and NALP have released their joint study, Law School Alumni Employment & Satisfaction for the Class of 2021, their 12th such report focusing on US and Canadian law schools. The survey includes information about early career attorneys three years out from graduation, along with data on first-generation graduates, educational debt, mobility, and the impact of experiential education on career satisfaction with insightful narrative responses from study participants. In addition to continued queries about Professional Identity Formation, new questions were added this year to address:
- career shifts during law school, including when and why these occurred
- post-graduate mentoring
- student loan forgiveness
- additional services/outreach graduates want from their law schools
This year’s study reflects data collected from 1,235 Class of 2021 alumni from 27 U.S. law schools and two Canadian law schools. Data collection took place between November 2024 and January 2025.
