Producing the list — a gold mine for comparison shoppers — was an unusual move for a law school. Vanderbilt detailed where its graduates worked, when they’d started, and a range for what they were earning — employment-related data well beyond what law schools historically provided to the main distributors of such information, U.S. News & World Report, the National Association of Law Placement, and the American Bar Association’s Standard 509 subcommittee.

Kyle McEntee, who’d spoken with Lynch while weighing which law school to attend, was impressed by the list. Ultimately, it helped persuade him to enroll at Vanderbilt. Once there, the two reconnected and decided to try to pry similar information out of all 199 American Bar Association–accredited law schools. Thus was born Law School Transparency (LST).
