Report on Recent Graduates
The Office of Career Planning (OCP) assists the students and alumni of Temple Law School with all aspects of career strategy and development. We meet with students for resume review,
interview preparation, networking tips and general career path advice. Alumni are afforded similar services at any time. The counselors in the Office of Career Planning look
forward to connecting you with professional career success.
The OCP presents programming throughout the year on practice areas and career skills. We have an intense, full-service program for post graduate judicial clerkships.
Our commitment to programming, services and counseling of law students led to great results in our most recent Law School Engagement Survey.
Temple graduates are well placed in firms around the country. In February 2012, Temple was ranked as a "Go-To Law School" by the National Law Journal in its annual Law Schools Report, (Feb. 28, 2012). In fact, Temple ranks 26th in the nation in the production of large law firm partners.
No matter what your career path, the Office of Career Planning is here to help.
