Useful Job/Resource Links - Useful links for your job search are broken down by state and by general area to aid you in your search.

The following tips will help you develop an out-of-town job search strategy. In addition, any counselor in Career Services can help you develop an individualized plan for the market in which you're interested.

Symplicity - Symplicity is the web-based Career Services Management System that we use to manage all aspects of the legal recruitment process.

Off-Campus Interviews - We hold job fairs in various large U.S. legal markets independently and as a member of consortia with other law schools. In addition, we provide our students access to a number of regional and practice-specialized job fairs sponsored by other organizations. Some of these (i.e. Loyola University Chicago School of Law Patent Law Interview Program) require specialized experience, while others are open to all interested students (i.e. Equal Justice Works Career Conference and Job Fair).

First-year students can participate beginning in the summer following first year, and second- and third-year students can participate during the summer and school year. Students can gain valuable legal experience in positions in the community, in positions at the University, and in positions within the Moritz College.

Before making a request for your reciprocity, it is your responsibility to research the policies of the schools from which you would to obtain reciprocity. Reciprocity policies for most individual law schools can be accessed through the web site of the National Association for Law Placement.
