In compiling employment statistics, TRU Law follows the North American convention of reporting figures as at nine months after graduation. * This percentage refers to the number of students who reportedly secured articles out of those who were seeking articles. Students who chose not to seek articles, or whose status could not be confirmed, were not included in this calculation. |
