Professor Paul Teich and The Near-Term Employment Prospects of American Law School Graduates

We were joined by Professor Paul Teich, a Professor at New England Law | Boston, to discuss his recent Article published in On Remand: The Near-Term Employment Prospects of American Law School Graduates. Professor Teich has studied this topic in depth, and has compiled various data available including graduation rates, retention rates, and employment rates of new graduates. An analysis of this data, according to Professor Teich, will actually lead to a shortage of law school graduates who can fill the average jobs available each year. This conclusion is in stark contradiction of the mainstream media’s reporting of the unavailability of jobs in the legal market. Additionally, Professor Teich breaks down how he analyzed the data to make this conclusion. If you are a law student or newly graduated law student, or interested in the job market for legal employment, this Podcast will shed light on the empirical data available to explain that job prospects are looking better.
