The City University of New York School of Law has retained its position as the top pipeline into public interest and government law jobs, a Reuters analysis found. CUNY Law, as the Queens school is known as, sent more than 55% of its 2023 juris doctors into those jobs within 10 months of graduation—more than 10 percentage points higher than any other school, according to employment data released last week by the American Bar Association. The ABA data show that the JD class of 2023 graduated into a strong job market. Among the 34,934 newly minted JDs last year, 85.6% landed full-time, permanent jobs within 10 months of leaving campus that either require bar passage or for which a JD provides an advantage. That’s the highest percentage in the past decade. Overall, 11.1% of 2023’s JDs nationwide went into government jobs, while 8.9% took public interest positions.

New Title IX Regulations and the Rush to Compliance. Higher Education Law alert by Lamb McErlane attorneys Kathleen O'Connell Bell, Jake Becker, and Ronald A. Amarant. After several delays and much anticipation in the higher education community, on April 19, 2024, the Department of Education released its long awaited, new Title IX Regulations, which will go into effect on August 1, 2024. The new Title IX regulations change the way educational institutions must respond to sexual harassment and discrimination claims, including eliminating the controversial requirement for live hearings with cross-examination. Colleges and universities have just a few short months to not only amend or revise existing Title IX policies, but to also educate and train their communities prior to the effective date of the new regulations later this summer.

An Open Letter to Private College Management With all due respect, many private institutions prioritize hiring faculty with degrees from National Law Universities (NLUs), government universities, or even foreign institutions. But here’s a thought—how does this ensure that students in your colleges and universities will excel? Shouldn’t a rigorous interview process, demo lectures, and a comprehensive screening of candidates' skills and teaching potential suffice to evaluate their suitability for the role of an assistant professor? Is it fair to make an NLU tag a mandatory requirement? It's time we reflect on creating opportunities based on merit, capability, and passion for teaching rather than just the name of the institution on a degree. Your thoughts? Let's discuss. #assistantprofessor #professor #privatecollege #college #university #law #lawfaculty #lawstudent #lawyer #legal #discuss #concern #nlu #clat
