Which law school will lead you to a Big Law job?

Wondering which law school will lead you to that coveted Big Law job? Well, the WSJ Law Blog broke it down for you using newly released data from the ABA. This data involved employment summary reports for individual schools, revealing that only about 8% of 2011 grads found jobs at big law firms. Plus, “schools in the Northeast were twice as likely to place their graduates in Big Law jobs as schools in the South, Midwest or West.” Did your school make the cut?  The blog ranked the top 25 schools “based on the percentage of 2011 graduates that landed full-time, long-term gigs at firms with 250 attorneys or more.”

Here are the top ten:

1. Columbia University
2. University of Pennsylvania
