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 Services look forward to connecting you with professional career success.

The Office of Career Services 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.
