Columbia Again Tops Law-Firm Recruiting Survey

"Columbia Law School landed in the No. 1 spot again as the school that sent the greatest portion of graduates to NLJ 250 law firms, with nearly 75 percent of its students in 2007 taking jobs among the nation's largest law firms. The school ranked No. 1 last year, when 69.6 percent of its graduates went to NLJ 250 law firms. ... Columbia's strong showing among all NLJ 250 firms was due to its quality of students and its location, said David Schizer, dean of the law school. "Many students come here because they love New York City and a significant fraction of them decide to stay," he said."
