Scalia Law sits in Arlington, inside the Washington metropolitan legal market. Students can access federal agencies, courts, government contractors, technology companies, firms and policy institutions while enrolled.

What these numbers cannot tell you

• your personal probability of getting a large-firm job;
• your likely salary;
• where you would rank in the class;
• which students actively pursued clerkships or BigLaw;
• the quality of a specific employer or job.

Class-level outcomes are useful for comparing pipelines, not forecasting an individual result.
