With slightly more than 25% of the class now working for federal judges, Stanford replaced the University of Chicago Law School in the top spot.Yale Law School moved up to No. 2, with nearly 23% of juris doctor grads in 2022 taking federal clerkships, after landing at No. 3 last year. Chicago slipped to No. 3, with just over 20% of recent graduates in such clerkships.
A relatively small number of law schools dominate the federal clerk hiring market. The 10 law schools with the highest percentage of federal clerks produced one-third of all clerks nationwide this year, according to the ABA figures. But relatively few law graduates have the opportunity to snag those jobs. The latest ABA data shows that just 3% of the 36,078 law graduates in 2022 are clerking for federal judges. The ABA figures do not break down clerks by race, but data from the National Association for Law Placement shows that 80% of 2021's federal clerks were white. Asian and Hispanic graduates each made up nearly 6% of those clerks, while 5% were Black.
