Nevada’s only law school, which has been turning out graduates since 2001, is populating the state with new lawyers.
More than 60 percent of the grads from UNLV’s William S. Boyd School of Law are lawyers working in the state, the Las Vegas Sun reports.
About 12 percent of the 4,221 practicing lawyers in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, came from Boyd. And they are helping the community with their legal abilities; about 15 percent of the lawyers who accepted new pro bono cases with Clark County Legal Services last year were Boyd grads.
“What they’re doing for the community, in my estimation, is they’re producing top-notch legal talent for this area,” Eric Mann, executive director of the Clark County Bar Association, told the Sun.
