Thomas Jefferson / Re: TJSL Entering Student 2009

Both TJSL and Cal Western are Tier 4 schools. Both are fairly well established in San Diego. TJSL and Cal Western help each other out, and work very closely in Networking events.
I can't speak for Cal Western but as for TJSL, the employment stats for recently graduated students is around 80%. Some of my friends who recently graduated have experienced difficulty finding employment because many firms are not hiring at the moment. This all has to do with the economy. I don't want to say that one school is better then the other because this is not so. The law community in San Diego tends to stick together. For example a counselor at Career Services at USD offered to assist me in any help that I needed to find an internship this summer, so as you can see we really try to help each other.
In Feb or March TJSL had a career fair with a long list of potential employers, it varied from the district attorney's office to small firms of 2-3 lawyers. The school tries to connect students with future employers as much as possible. We constantly have mixers with judges and attorneys which provides a wonderful opportunity to network. Many TJSL grads have created their own firms and tend to hire grads from the school.
I know a few people at Cal Western who are very happy with the school and the direction their careers are going. It all really comes down to what school is the best fit for you and what you do while your at school.
I apologize if this does not answer your question, but I would recommend asking a Cal Western student their Opinion about the school and job placement for their grads.
