The salary data set for the above has no predictive value and
does not guarantee the type of job or salary an "average" law
graduate receives. Job offers and salaries offered vary from year
to year and are dependent on many factors such as law school
academic performance, the strength of the economy, employers'
hiring criteria, and the competitiveness of the legal job
market.
