Southern Methodist University’s Dedman School of Law announced that despite 97% of its May 2009 graduates being employed nine months after graduation, it will pay employers who hire its December 2009 and May 2010 graduates as much as $7,000 if the employer hires an SMU law grad.  Elie Mystal of Above the Law says, “SMU is willing to pay for its U.S. News gaming.”
