“Much of the school’s success occurs because students take personal responsibility for engaging in the strong programming and opportunities available to them here.”

-Assistant Director of Career Services Paula Harris

From the first day of law school, to summer job searches, to internships, to Bar membership, we help you enter the legal marketplace with confidence and the skills necessary for success. In the first semester of the first year, you begin learning about and using critical intangible skills such as good judgment, professionalism, networking and mentoring.

Learn from practitioners about their career paths and practice areas. Take part in our small group resume review workshop.  Gain invaluable insight from interview practice sessions with volunteer attorneys (right). Take advantage of networking opportunities and community service team efforts. Attend job fairs on campus and visit employers.

By the end of the first semester, you will have created a law-oriented professional resume, and an individual professional development plan after a one-on-one meeting with a Career Services counselor. 

We encourage you to work closely with us throughout your three-years here to strategically build your resume, practical experiences, and contacts so that you may secure post-grad job opportunities in the practice area and geographic location you desire.

Services include:

• Creating an individual career development plan and strategy that changes as you refine your career interests;
• Improve and use the skills necessary to secure an entry level position in the legal marketplace, including professionalism, increasing self-awareness, confidence, networking, finding and developing mentoring relationships, and participating in community service;
• Creating opportunities to increase your networking, mentoring, and job search opportunities;
• Preparing resumes, cover letters and other application materials that comply with professional standards and emphasize your strongest qualities;
• Preparing for interviews and pre-hiring meetings;
• Strategizing employment negotiations.
