Today, the University of Illinois College of Law published its 2024-2025 Employer Honor Roll, which contained a record-setting 72 employers. 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 many sizes, accounting firms, a wide variety of government agencies, public interest employers, and courts. Combined, Honor Roll employers have hired nearly 250 recent College of Law graduates in the Classes of 2022, 2023, 2024. The Honor Roll was first created in 2014. With the support of Honor Roll members, and hundreds of additional employers, the College of Law continues to serve as a “go to” destination for top legal talent.
“We are excited to welcome a record-breaking number of employers to our Honor Roll this year,” noted Greg Miarecki, the College’s Executive Assistant Dean for Career Planning and Professional Development. “And we are especially gratified to have longtime Honor Roll members from across the profession enhancing their standings this year – this reflects strong and continuing demand for our outstanding graduates,” Miarecki added.
