Latest verified values from ABA required disclosures. Each dataset describes a different class, as labelled. The job share is PreLaw Advisor’s arithmetic (full-time, long-term bar-passage-required positions ÷ total graduates), not an ABA-published figure.

Past cycle (2025-2026)

Requirements are recorded per application cycle, so a new cycle never overwrites an older one. The 2025-2026 cycle is for students starting law school in fall 2026.
