Visualizing legal employment outcomes in Ohio in 2019
This is the second in a series of visualizations on legal employment outcomes for the Class of 2019. Following a post on outcomes in Pennsylvania, here is a visualization for legal employment outcomes of graduates of Ohio law schools for the Class of 2019. (More about the methodology is available at the Pennsylvania post.) Last year's Ohio post is here.
Total jobs, including bar passage-required jobs, improved significantly. Those bar passage-required jobs rose from 571 to 662. Total graduates also rose from 888 to 961. Job placement improved even with total graduates rising, increasing the placement weight in all these areas of employment from 76% to 81%. Four of Ohio’s nine law schools still graduated fewer than 100 students.
As always, please notify me of any corrections or errata.
