Employment Summary for 2020 Graduates
*Employment statistics are based on employment at 10 months after graduation, as of March 15, 2021. For a more complete picture of judicial clerkships at UCI Law, see our Judicial Clerkships page.
Information on employment outcomes for the Class of 2020 may not reflect a particular law school's typical results in this area. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, bar admission exams were canceled or delayed in many jurisdictions, thus making it more challenging for graduates to secure employment by the annual Graduate Employment Status Date of March 15. Please reference the three years of employment outcome data posted on the ABA Required Disclosures webpage of each ABA-Approved Law School or at www.abarequireddisclosures.org
