Around 225 Vanderbilt graduates a year. So we've got 10.6% allegedly clerking for Article III federal judges. That's around 24 graduates.
Starting from http://law.vanderbilt.edu/article-search/article-detail/index.aspx?nid=253 we have a problem: there's only 20 clerks from the Class of 2008 clerking for federal district or appellate courts. 10 are clerking for state or bankruptcy courts; 8 are graduates not from the Class of 2008. But, humorously enough, if you add up all the non-Class of 2008 graduates in the mix, you manage to hit 25.
Unfortunately, as well, in that 20 count, Karen Wells Roby (EDLa) is a magistrate judge.
So Vanderbilt, you lying sacks of shit, you have 19/225, 8.4%, not 24/225, which is not nearly as lying and shitty as WUSTL, so you can sleep tonight.

ty, that wasn't that bad. I assumed more of those judges were magistrate.
It'd be interesting to see the impact of clerkships on places like Vandy in a down economy. It seems that there would be stronger competition from higher-ranked schools (3Ls who got no-offered, offers rescinding, etc) that would push out some kids from lower ranked schools. Just a guess.

Think of it this way -- it's only a 25% exaggeration. If my publicly traded clients "exaggerated" their profits by 25% they would all be going to federal "pound me in the ass" prison.
