Law Firms

More lawyers work in law firms than in any other sector of legal practice. According to the National Association for Law Placement’s national statistics, around 55% of all law school graduates start their legal careers in law firms. Law firm practice is also a very popular job choice at YLS. As reflected in our employment statistics, many of our students work for law firms for the summer and after graduation.
