The growing acceleration of the growth of higher education in Brazil in recent years has led to an exaggerated number of graduates qualified to practice their professions, with a considerable increase in the number of professionals in the job market. With the aim of understanding the consequences of university expansion on law graduates, through 20 interviews with recent graduates and the analysis of secondary data, this cross-sectional study shows that the search for public examinations, the devaluation of the position of associate in law firms, the occupation of new territories in the job market and the practice of self-employed lawyers are common experiences. This article examines the consequences of university expansion on the job market for law graduates.
