Lawyers a year out of law school have endured significantly less lucrative job prospects in comparison to those who graduated just a year earlier, according to the National Association for Law Placement.
The organization released a report on Tuesday showing that the median starting salary for 2010 law school graduates dropped 13 percent to $63,000 when compared to the class of 2009, while the mean starting salary fell nearly 10 percent to $84,111 in the same comparison. The decreases in median and mean salary figures amount to drops of $9,000 and $9,343, respectively.
