Mississippi Christian University School of Law (MC Law) Employment Outcomes
Jackson, MS · class of 2025 · reported roughly ten months after graduation
Class of 2025
| Graduates in the class | 103 |
|---|---|
| Employment status unknown | 0 |
| Graduates with known status | 103 |
| Employed | 96 |
| Employment rate | 93.2% |
| Of whom in full-time long-term positions | 95 |
| Enrolled in further graduate study | 0 |
| Seeking work | 6 |
| Not seeking work | 0 |
| Employed start date after the reporting date | 1 |
The employment rate is calculated over graduates whose status is known. The 0 with unknown status are excluded from the denominator rather than counted as unemployed, which is the standard treatment.
What kind of work
| Bar admission required or anticipated | 93 total · 93 full-time long-term |
|---|---|
| Position where a JD is an advantage | 2 total · 1 full-time long-term |
| Other professional position | 1 |
| Requiring bar, share of full-time long-term | 97.9% |
The two categories are kept separate deliberately. “Bar admission required” positions are ones where licensure is the point; “JD advantage” positions are where the degree helps but does not require a licence. Combining them into a single “legal employment” figure would blur exactly the distinction an applicant is trying to make.
Where the graduates went
Law firms and non-firm destinations, full-time long-term positions. These two tables add up to 95.
Law firms by size
| Firm size | Graduates | Share of full-time long-term |
|---|---|---|
| Solo practice | 1 | 1.1% |
| 1–10 attorneys | 33 | 34.7% |
| 11–25 | 11 | 11.6% |
| 26–50 | 7 | 7.4% |
| 51–100 | 4 | 4.2% |
| 101–250 | 3 | 3.2% |
| 251–500 | 1 | 1.1% |

| Size not reported | 1 | 1.1% |
| All law firms | 61 | 64.2% |
Non-firm destinations
This table does not include law firms. The ABA reports firms separately under their size distribution, so at this school the two tables together are the complete picture — 64.2% went to firms and the 35.8% below did not.
| Destination | Graduates | Share of full-time long-term |
|---|---|---|
| Business & industry | 1 | 1.1% |
| Government | 15 | 15.8% |
| Public interest | 2 | 2.1% |
| Judicial clerkship — federal | 8 | 8.4% |
| Judicial clerkship — state & local | 7 | 7.4% |
| Judicial clerkship — tribal | 0 | 0.0% |
| Judicial clerkship — international | 0 | 0.0% |
| Education | 1 | 1.1% |
| All non-firm destinations | 34 | 35.8% |
Government (15), public interest (2) and judicial clerkships (15) together account for 32 of the full-time long-term positions at this school.

What these figures do not tell you
- No salary data. Starting salaries are filed separately by each school and are not part of this report, so none appears here.
- One class only. These figures describe a single cohort about ten months after graduation. They do not show a trend and may not hold for the next class.
- A high rate is not automatically a good outcome. A school can place nearly everyone quickly, or place 85% into positions most graduates consider their first choice. The rate alone does not distinguish these.
- Reported location is not licensure. A graduate who reports New York as their destination may not be licensed to practise there.
