Ninety-Four Percent of '08 Albany Law Grads Employed

With all the dire talk about legal employment these days, it's nice to hear some good news: Albany Law School in New York has announced that 94% of its 2008 graduates have secured employment in legal positions, which is four percentage points higher than the national average.

A closer look at the statistics show that 49% of Albany Law's Class of 2008 went to law firms; 19% into business and industry; 16% into government positions; 9% to judicial clerkships; 6% into public interest law; and 2% in academia. A full third of graduates will be working in New York City.

Could this impressive job placement rate coupled with the fact that Albany has frozen tuition for the upcoming school year mean more applicants to Albany Law in the future? Stay tuned!
