Summer Employment Data
Approximately 20 to 50 students in each class worked at more than one job during these summers. For example, many 2Ls will work for both a law firm and a public sector employer, and many 1Ls will work for a public sector employer and also serve as a research assistant to a member of the Law School faculty. Students who work multiple summer positions were counted only in the category of their primary job.
