Career Opportunities
Employers nationwide have embraced the students and graduates from the University of St. Thomas School of Law. The career success of our graduates is no accident. Over the course of three years, our Career and Professional Development team works with each student to help identify the career plan that best fits his or her talents and interests. We develop and refine job-search strategies and connect students with potential employers. We support and empower students and alumni by providing the resources, information and coaching they need to obtain their first legal experience, build upon one experience to obtain the next, and develop lifelong career development and job search skills.
Throughout the year, the Office of Career and Professional Development offers extensive programming and job postings to help students find their niche in the law. Our students participate in public interest career fairs and conferences, multicultural hiring programs, and on-campus interviews.
Our alumni continue to make amazing inroads into the local and national legal community. Many work as clerks in the federal and state courts, and an impressive number have hung out a shingle and have opened their own law firms. Not surprisingly, a high number work in areas where they further the School of Law’s mission by serving under-represented populations as public defenders or as public interest lawyers.
