Many of Marcus Peterson’s fellow alumni from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, are still cooling their heels after graduating one year ago, waiting to start law firm jobs thanks to long deferments.

It’s not the first-year associate experience he was anticipating. “I kind of assumed that you spent the first couple of years doing doc review,” he said.
