But what % of those 80% are getting top-tier biglaw jobs (or clerkships)?
I have no idea - but my dad does law in the public sector (read: not lucrative) and anecdotally he says he's able to hire lots of top 10 law school grads who never would have applied for that kind of job five years ago.

At Harvard, Yale, and Stanford? Yes. The other good schools (top 10/15-ish) are in the 60% range. Outside the top 20, it's probably in the 10% range and below.
