The NALP Foundation and NALP have released their joint study, Law School Alumni Employment & Satisfaction for the Class of 2022, their 13th such report focusing on US 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, career shifts, post-graduate mentoring, student loan forgiveness, and additional services/outreach graduates want from their law schools, new queries were added to explore graduates’ use of AI in law school, their law school preparation in AI, and their use of AI in their current positions.
This year’s study reflects data collected from 1,302 Class of 2022 alumni from 26 US law schools. Data collection took place between November 2024 and January 2025.
The NALP Foundation and NALP received an extended grant from the AccessLex Institute® to support the participation of HBCU law schools and law schools with significant levels of students and alumni from groups underrepresented in the legal profession for an additional three-year period; this year marks the first year of this new cycle.
