    Today, the University of Illinois College of Law published its 2022-2023 Employer Honor Roll. The Honor Roll recognizes employers who have regularly hired recent College of Law graduates. The Honor Roll contains a wide variety of employers, including, for example, law firms of various sizes, accounting firms, insurance companies, and an array of government agencies, public interest employers, and courts. Combined, Honor Roll employers have hired nearly 200 recent College of Law graduates in the Classes of 2020, 2021 and 2022. The Honor Roll was first created in 2014. With the support of Honor Roll members and many other employers, the College of Law has continued to deliver outstanding employment opportunities for its graduates.

    “This year’s Honor Roll awardees are an incredibly diverse group of legal employers,” the College’s Executive Assistant Dean for Career Planning and Professional Development, Greg Miarecki, commented. “We’re excited to welcome a number of new awardees, and welcome back many of our longtime partners to the Honor Roll ranks,” Miarecki added. “We are grateful to our Honor Roll winners and especially excited to welcome seven new employers to our Honor Roll this year,” commented Vik Amar, the Dean of the College of Law.
