Visualizing legal employment outcomes in DC-Virginia-Maryland in 2019

This is the sixth in a series of visualizations on legal employment outcomes for the Class of 2019. Following posts on outcomes in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, Illinois, and Florida, here is a visualization for legal employment outcomes of graduates of DC, Virginia, and Maryland law schools for the Class of 2019. (More about the methodology is available at the Pennsylvania post.) Last year's DC-Virginia-Maryland post is here.

Total job placement in bar passage-required positions rose nearly 100 as graduates fell slightly, improving the overall placement rate from 83.9% to 85%. (Of note, four schools had fewer than 70 graduates.)

As always, please notify me of any corrections or errata.
