Curricular areas of interest to hiring committees, 24-25

Northwestern's Professor Lawsky has collected some very interesting information.  It's too bad we don't have data for earlier years, so I can only report my anecdotal sense.  This is a good year for "business law," but every year is a good year for the business law subjects.   It seems like a comparatively good year for three areas in particular:  evidence, labor & employment law, and family law.  Health law has been on a steady rise, it has seemed to me, and that continues this year (although one would like to know how many of these jobs are more bioethics, and how many are more the regulatory side of health law [the latter being the crucial area in practice]).
