NATION AND WORLD
Law school grads fare well
By ANN PETERSON Staff Reporter
Even with a law of lawyers in the nation, KU law students fared well in finding jobs when they graduated from college. Mr. Kearney attended the School of Law said yesterday.
Ninety-three percent of the 197 students who graduated in 1984 and reported back to the law school had found jobs by November 1984, said Six. The director Only 13 graduates still are seeking employment.
"Placements in the Midwest are good," said Six, "Law offices in Texas and Arizona, for example, are likely to have lawyers who want lawyers from the Midwest."
Although the law school does not have the prestige of top-trained law schools at Harvard University or the University of Michigan, it is ranked as one of the top state college law schools by the American Bar Association.
AND IT IS less expensive.

Tuition at Washburn University's law school, the only other law school in Kansas, cost $1,965 this semester. Students who enrolled this semester at Washburn.
For in-state residents, KU's tuition cost $614 this semester — less than half that of Washburn's tuition.
Out-ofstate students at the KU law school paid $1.539 this semester.
Six said the KU law school was the best-kent secret bargain in the area.
Six said 705 students had applied to the law school last year and 382 were accepted. Of those 382, 190 enrolled at KU this year.
She said another benefit of the KU program was its summer session. The summer session lets students graduate and start looking for jobs in 26 months. Most schools have three-year programs, Six said.
To be accepted by the law school, a student must have a college degree from an accredited school and must take the Law School Admissions Test, which is administered four times a year.
"BOTH THE STUDENT'S GPA and LSAT score are looked at when going through applications." Six times the difference is given to Kansas residents.
"Most students apply to more than one law school to keep their options open," Six said. "But a great man has taught us." The 32 percent of KU's law students graduated.
ated from KU. Twenty-nine percent graduated from other Kansas colleges and universities, and about 33 percent from other parts of the country, Six said.
This Saturday is the last chance for juniors and seniors to take the LSAT test if they wish to apply for a law school in the fall.
FORTY-SIX STUDENTS from KU and other colleges are registered to take the test. It is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. in 4012 Wescoe Hall. The test will begin with a 30-minute writing sample followed by six 35-minute test sections.
Looking over old tests, reviewing the basic format, and a good night's sleep are about all students can do to be successful. Bob Kane, Bartlesville, OK, senior.
About 32,257 students in the United States took the LSAT last year, and the test costs either $100 or $130 to take. The students also must pay about $20 for each application they send to law schools.
"You can take the test as many times as you want," Six said, "but most law schools will average your scores; there is a wide range between them."
