Today, the University of Illinois College of Law published its 2017 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 firms of various sizes, government agencies, courts, and corporations. Combined, Honor Roll employers have hired nearly 200 recent College of Law graduates in the Classes of 2014, 2015 and 2016. The Honor Roll was first created in 2014. This edition of the Honor Roll contains 21 new employers, the largest group of new inductees in the history of the Honor Roll.
“The 2017 Employer Honor Roll is a diverse group, and demonstrates that College of Law graduates can make meaningful contributions to many different types of teams,” noted Greg Miarecki, the College’s Executive Assistant Dean for Career Planning and Professional Development. “We are especially pleased to welcome 21 new employers to the Honor Roll this year,” Miarecki added.
