Page "Thomas Jefferson School of Law" Paragraph 12

On June 25, 2012, The Wall Street Journal described Thomas Jefferson School of Law as one of the " bottom five " law schools for job placement.

Of 198 law schools reporting on their 2011 graduates, 27 % of TJSL's graduates had secured full-time, long-term jobs in the legal profession within nine months of graduation.

In an interview for the article, Dean Rudy Hasl retorted, " You can't measure the value of a law degree in terms of what your employment number was nine months after graduation.

" Instead, Hasl urged prospective students to think of a law degree as a " long-term investment " because a " law degree is something that allows you to move in so many directions.
