The Career Services Office (CSO) educates and empowers students, alumni and employers based on decades of diverse experience, along with genuine compassion and understanding of how to develop long-lasting employment relationships. The CSO takes a mindful approach to career development, collaborating with legal professionals to achieve unparalleled career outcomes for our students and our employers.
The CSO is a source of information and assistance for planning and pursuing summer, academic year, and post-graduation opportunities.
Every student meets individually with a CSO career counselor at least once per semester and then as often as needed. Each job search is unique, and the CSO provides the highest-quality support by tailoring its services to each student.
The CSO provides many programs to develop our students’ professional identities, including lectures from experienced practitioners and new lawyers, career panels with alumni, and in-class career guidance, giving students the inside story about legal jobs across the country.
Every member of the first-year class is matched with one of more than 200 mentors who are practicing lawyers or judges, and the relationship grows throughout their law school career.
Every law school has distinctive qualities, individual cultures, and a unique atmosphere. Visiting a law school can help determine if it’s the best place for you.
