What you get out (Class of 2024)
| Class year reported | 2024 |
| FT/LT employed, 10 months out | 93.9% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 26.3% |
| Federal clerkships | 3.5% |
| Government + public interest | 22.7% |
| Bar pass rate | 81.5% |
93.9% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, 26.3% went to biglaw, and against a $36,950 resident sticker that almost nobody pays in full, the debt math here is about as safe as it gets.
What it costs
| Sticker tuition (2025) | $58,000/yr |
| Resident | $36,950/yr |
| Nonresident | $58,000/yr |
| 3-year sticker total | $174,000 |
| Pays full sticker | 0.4% |
| Gets some grant | 99.6% |
99.6% of the class received a grant and just 0.4% paid full sticker, so a score above the 166 75th percentile is mostly a fight over the size of the award, not whether you get one.
