Slump in law school applicants | StarTribune.com: "About 87.6 percent of the class of 2010 had a job -- any job -- nine months after graduation, according to a June report by the National Association for Law Placement. That's a 15-year low.
"But you have to remember that students 15 years ago didn't have the same debt," Leipold said. "A lot of students have six-figure debt coming out of law school now ... so the picture is even bleaker."
Yet even that 15-year low "conceals a number of negative trends in the job market," the report says. Only 68.4 of graduates who reported their employment had a job for which they had to pass the bar exam -- "the lowest percentage ... ever measured." About 11 percent of those who reported being employed were working part time."
