The law school recently reported that 92.3 percent of last year’s graduating class is working in full-time, long-term jobs that either require a law license or for which having a J.D. provides a significant advantage to performing or obtaining the role. The class of 2021 employment rate places St. Thomas Law among the top law schools in the country for career outcomes. It ranks #37 nationally among the more than 200 accredited U.S. law schools. Harvard Law School: 92.9% Georgetown Law School: 92.7% University of Minnesota Law School: 92.5% St. Thomas School of Law: 92.3% Boston College Law School: 90.8% Notre Dame Law School: 89.7% Marquette University Law School: 88.5%

EMPLOYMENT Class of 2021
“Early in our history as a law school, some prospective students would express enthusiasm about our mission but wondered whether attending St. Thomas Law meant sacrificing some of the stellar job prospects that could be found at law schools that had been around for 100 years. We have worked very hard to build a law school community that delivers a mission-centered student experience and employment outcomes that meet or beat those found at Harvard, Stanford, Georgetown or Notre Dame. Being faithful to our mission can never be an excuse to relax our commitment to excellence. ” DEAN ROBERT VISCHER
