		<description><![CDATA[Ben Barros at Widener has completed a short but very helpful paper examining the debate about employment of recent law school graduates. Ben diligently tracked down the vast majority of Widener (Harrisburg) graduates from the 2010 and 2011 classes to see how they were doing now, not just 9 months after graduation. His results show [...]]]></description>
