It’s tough to beat DC as a place to attend law school, but let’s look at the numbers:
Out of a class of 650 graduates(2018 figures, most recent available), ten months after graduation 534 had a full time bar passage job required. So 126 graduates didn’t find jobs as lawyers-that’s not great. In terms of all jobs, the numbers are better. Personally, I find it troubling that so many new grads are employed by the school; these are usually one year positions which make it appear that more graduates have jobs, but clearly they aren’t careers. And worth noting are the salaries for public sector jobs. According to USNWR, for 2018 graduates of GULC the average debt was $166, 323 with 70% of grads carrying a debt.
But here are the stats for GULC(these are their numbers).

It’s best to be mindful, absent scholarships, what attending law school will cost, and even if scholarships are obtained, make sure to read the fine print. This is a business decision, and it’s important to weigh all the pluses and minuses before making a decision. My concern is new graduates having debt that is multiples of their starting salary.
