According to CDO’s 5th1 and 10th2 Year Career Development Surveys, around 10% of YLS alumni are working in a business setting five years after graduation and nearly 20% are in business 10 years after graduation. The settings in which these alumni work vary greatly and include in-house practice to corporate business roles to alternative careers in innumerable industries.
In this section we discuss in-house legal practice. Students interested in exploring nonlegal opportunities including management consulting, finance, and non-profit management, should connect with The Tsai Leadership Program3. Mary J.L. Herrington (mary.herrington@yale.edu) is available to discuss nonlegal private sector business careers and Margie Adler (margie.adler@yale.edu) is available to discuss nonlegal public sector careers.
