At Boalt Hall School of Law next door, some graduates are being offered new fellowships to help weather the unprecedented rough spot in the legal industry. Although public-interest jobs appear to be toughest to come by, large firms also are suffering, said Dean Christopher Edley. “There’s still a lot of anxiety because folks still don’t know where the bottom is, so they’re reluctant to make hiring commitments,” he said. “We’ve definitely seen our graduating students having to work harder to find a job they’re happy with.”
