Columbia Law School sent more graduates into associate positions at the largest U.S. law firms than any law school in the country during 2013, as a historically high number of attorneys entered the job market.
Columbia sent 65 percent of its graduates into associate jobs at firms listed on the NLJ 250, The National Law Journal’s survey of the nation’s largest law firms by headcount. The school had been among the top three for the previous three years but surged past former No. 1 University of Pennsylvania Law School to reclaim the top position it held in 2007 and 2008.
