In April, Colorado Law reported postgraduation employment data for the Class of 2017 10 months after graduation (March 15, 2018) to the American Bar Association and the National Association for Law Placement. Of all graduates of the Class of 2017, 84 percent secured full-time, long-term, non-school-funded jobs for which bar passage was required or a JD degree was an advantage within 10 months of graduation鈥攖he most of any class during the past decade. Additionally, 76 percent of graduates reported a full-time, long-term, non-school-funded job for which bar passage was required鈥攁lso the highest number in the past decade.
鈥淭he Class of 2017 was composed of remarkable students who fully engaged in the life of the law school and worked long hours developing their legal skills in a wide variety of settings. It is no surprise that they have raised the bar on postgraduate employment outcomes.鈥�
