Explanation of "Employment Summary for 2011 Graduates"
Data included in the summary is based on information available nine months after graduation regarding the Class of 2011. Not all graduates responded to the survey, thus information is based on only those students who responded. For some graduates, complete information was not available. The information gathered through the survey is not an accurate depiction of the current employment status of the 2011 graduates.

Bar Passage Required: positions that require the graduate to pass a bar exam. Examples include Public Defender, Trial Attorney, and Prosecuting Attorney.

JD Advantage: positions that do not require bar passage or an active law license, but the JD degree provides a demonstrable advantage in obtaining or performing the job, or the employer preferred or even required a JD degree for the position. Examples include Alternative Dispute Resolution Specialist, Virginia Magistrate, Land Man, Law School Administration, and Paralegal.

Professional Position: positions that require professional skills or training, but for which a JD degree is neither required nor a demonstrable advantage.

Non-Professional Position: positions that do not require any professional skills or training or one that the graduate does not view as part of his or her career path.
