What do these ratings mean?
The ATL School and Firm Insiders Survey asks self-identified current students, alumni, and practicing lawyers to rate major aspects of life at their law school (academics, social life, clinical training, career services, financial aid advising) and/or law firm (compensation, hours, morale, culture, training). We then translate these ratings into letter grades, where the mean score for each particular ratings category is the equivalent of a “B.”
We require a minimum threshold of responses for each institution before we publish any survey-based ratings content. Using a standard formula for statistical validity, we adhere to a threshold that gives us an 85% confidence level and a 10% margin of error. The precise threshold number will of course vary depending on the size of the individual institution. For example, for a law firm of 1,000 attorneys, we would require 50 responses in order to publish ratings for the firm.

The ATL Career Center's goal is to reconcile publicly available employment data for the class of 2013, nine months after graduation. We compared data from the American Bar Association, Law School Transparency, National Association for Legal Professionals, and individual school websites.

Insider Reviews
from students and alumni of Ohio Northern University, Claude W. Pettit College of Law
Lots of hands-on, practical training, but the courses are way too easy after first year.
Alumni
It’s barely possible to keep you scholarship after first year, so don’t depend on the scholarship money when deciding to go here. / The law students refer to it as “Pettit Junior High” for good reason. /
Alumni
It’s in the middle of no where, must drive for internship experiences; however, this does enable you to bond well with your fellow peers who are also stuck there. Does not help you out with getting a job after graduation.
Alumni
Small town, small school. Expect it to be like high school but with more booze, if you had fun in high school you’ll have fun here.
