Note: Data on law graduates for the Class of 2023 comes from a follow-up survey conducted one year after graduation. This allows those who pursued the one-year practical law course or pupillage to complete their training before entering full-time employment.

For the Class of 2024, graduates will be surveyed in JAUGES 2026. Under a new practical training framework, the practical training period has been extended from six months to one year, so these graduates will be surveyed two years after graduation.
