The school didn’t just include people with jobs outside the legal field in their statistics, they intentionally hired recent graduate as “clerks” for their law professors so they could claim that X percentage of recent graduates was employed in the legal field. These clerk positions were making minimum wage but led people to believe they would have X chance of making lawyer type money within a few months of graduating. The schools knew the legal market was saturated and took active steps to hide the fact because all the other graduate schools at a university are funded by the law school. Think about it – no pricey labs or equipment. It’s literally just a building stuffed with people who read all day everyday for three years. And they pay top dollar to do so.
