A growing number graduates, it appears, are now venting their frustration.
On blogs with names like "Scammed Hard" and "Shilling Me Softly," law graduates are blaming their alma maters for luring them into expensive programs by overstating their chances of landing a job upon graduation, the USA Today reports.
Accredited law schools typically post information about the employment rates of recent graduates, but data can be misleading, USA Today reports. "We had some schools reporting 100% employment," probably because unemployed grads didn't respond, said Donald Polden, Santa Clara University law school dean. He chairs an American Bar Association committee that is looking at how to report employment data "in a more robust way."
Law School Transparency, a non-profit founded by two Vanderbilt law students, sent a request in July to 200 law schools to provide salary and employment data for 2010 grads. The groups would like to post that information online.
