The State of Law School 2014

If you’re aspiring to go to law school and pursue a career, it’s important to follow the news to see what’s going on in the industry. It’s a lot tougher out there these days and the dream of becoming a lawyer is not the same as it used to be. Granted the prospects for 2014 look pretty decent compared to 2013.

Recently the American Bar Association released its employment numbers for the class of 2013. As such, website Noodle has launched an innovative, easy-to-use new tool to help prospective students find the right law school. It contains an algorithm that provides superior guidance by considering the factors that are most important to both applicants and law schools in the admissions process. The ABA’s data shows that employment prospects are slightly better than last year for new JDs, but still have not recovered from a difficult few years.

Here’s a look at the job market for new law school graduates:
