Career Opportunities
Employers nationwide have embraced the students and graduates from the University of St. Thomas School of Law. Our graduates have found success law firms of all sizes. They have clerked at the U.S. Court of Appeals, the U.S. District Court and the Minnesota Supreme Court. They work at all levels of government and in private business. Almost fourteen percent of our recent graduates work in public interest law.
The career success of our graduates is no accident. Over the course of three years, our Career and Professional Development staff works with each student to help identify the career plan that best fits his or her talents and interests. They develop and refine job-search strategies and connect students with potential employers. Resources are readily accessible both online and in the comprehensive Career and Professional Development Resource Center. Employers come on campus to interview students in the Spring and Fall. Our students participate in Public Interest Career Fairs and Forums. 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.
