<p>Where is the information about where graduates from particular law schools have gotten offers coming from? I know of recent graduates of Texas being offered jobs paying over 100K in states like Colorado and California, I don’t know how much of an exception these students are to the rest of their graduating class but this suggested to me that a degree from UT was somewhat portable. </p>
<p>I expect that the majority of students going to Texas want to live in Texas and this might account for the majority of their graduates working in Texas. I would expect that a majority of students attending USC and UCLA have a preference for living in California. (I don’t have any feel for Vandy and Tennessee) So, it is not a surprise that the majority of students employed after graduating from these schools work within their state. The question I have is, would this be due to lack of protability or by choice? Are the students from Texas that I know of outstanding for their class or just among the few who chose to leave? Conversely, I would wonder, how good the employment options are to work in Texas even if the school is a T14. (Texans often love Texans). This is really a guess on my part but I wonder if regional preferences over far away T14 schools hold up for states other than NY, DC area, possibly California and maybe a few others that as a whole tend to reign in new blood from around the country and around the world. </p>
<p>This is pertinent to a decision between an upper T30 school vs a lower (and possibly far away) T14. In other words for the student who doesn’t know for sure where they want to work, but has a preference to Southern California or Texas and is less attracted to NY and DC, would they have a better shot going to say UT, UCLA or USC vs perhaps Cornell, or Gtown or Michigan ?</p>
