Survey Says: The Class Of 2011 Is Screwed, Forever

By Staci Zaretsky

I think the class of 2011 will historically come to be seen as the bottom of the market.

– Jim Leipold, executive director of the National Association for Law Placement (NALP), in comments made during the group’s 2014 conference in Seattle, Washington. Recall that the overall employment rate for the class of 2011 was just 85.6 percent — the lowest since 1994 — with less than half finding jobs in private practice.
