REUTERS — The law school class of 2022 graduated into a strong entry-level hiring market, landing legal jobs at a higher rate than their predecessors in 2021 and 2019—the last cohort before COVID-19 temporarily pushed down new lawyer hiring. Nearly 78% of last year’s new juris doctors found jobs that require bar passage within 10 months of leaving campus—up from about 76% among the class of 2021, according to figures released Tuesday by the American Bar Association.
