Professional success for law students starts at the Career Services Office (CSO).  Beginning in their first semester, the CSO’s experienced career counselors (all JDs and former practicing attorneys) prepare our students for a legal career through our professional development and career exploration workshops and provide opportunities for students to connect with employers in their networking and interview programs. They work closely with each student to implement a career search plan. Whether students are interested in working in the private sector at a firm of any size or in a corporate law department or being a public servant in a public interest, public defense or government role or working in the courts as a judicial intern or postgraduate clerk, our CSO staff are here to help our students achieve their career goals and launch a successful legal career.

Resources include:

• One-on-one career advising
• Resume and cover letter workshops and handbooks
• Skills-building workshops
• A robust and exclusive job bank
• On-campus and virtual interview programs for private and public sector employment with employers in offices throughout the country
• Mock interview programs
• Networking events
