UChicago v Columbia v NYU

Biglaw firms that employ the most JD graduates of each school in 11 major markets

Not surprising: Columbia and NYU Law dominate the New York Biglaw scene and UChicago, along with Northwestern and Michigan (see my earlier post), is stronger in the Chicago Biglaw market.

Surprising: Columbia and NYU both have the largest number of alums at Paul Weiss (this is the firm with the most lawyers in NYC), but NYU clearly leads over Columbia at one particular blue-chip law firm - Cleary Gottlieb, which is also one of the primary places that Harvard Law JDs tend to head to.

I’m working on a Cleary Gottlieb graph and will post it here for those interested. Feel free to subscribe below so you don’t have to check back every hour (I don’t mind that at all, but I know you all have lots to work on).
