After graduation
The numbers that matter are full-time, long-term, bar-passage-required jobs — the actual practice of law. School-funded and part-time positions are reported separately below, not folded into the headline.
Graduates most often work in: LOUISIANA, TEXAS, NEW YORK.
A note on honesty: 1% of employed graduates are in positions the school itself funded — excluded from the full-time-lawyer figure above.
Southern University is an ABA-accredited law school. It admits about 57% of applicants, making it selective. The median enrolled student scored 147 on the LSAT with a 3.15 GPA.
Medians describe the class, not your odds. A number below the median isn't a rejection and one above isn't a guarantee — splitters get in both directions. The tool below places your actual LSAT and GPA inside Southern University's band.
