Placement Rate

Charlotte School of Law was able to confirm the employment status of 100% (234 out of 234) of its program completers who graduated September 1, 2011 through August 31,  2012. The job placement rate for these graduates was 88.9%. This figure was calculated using the NALP formula for calculating job placement rate. Therefore, the 88.9% job placement rate was calculated by adding together all of the employed graduates (208) and then dividing by the number of graduates whose employment status we were able to confirm (234). In accordance with NALP guidelines, the number of employed graduates includes all employment positions, including legal and non-legal positions, permanent and temporary positions, full-time and part-time positions, and any positions funded by Charlotte School of Law.

Building upon their experiential-based education to bring immediate value to their employers, our graduates have been employed in a variety of settings, including law firms, government agencies, businesses, and public interest organizations.
