The Office of Career Services provides Advanced Degree students with professional development resources and skills training to help you stay proactive and organized in your search for your next opportunity. Some of our services include:
For those seeking a position here in the U.S., it is important to note that the current U.S. legal job market is highly competitive for LL.M. graduates. This is the common experience for LL.M. graduates at law schools across the country. Students are encouraged not to join an LL.M. program solely for the reason of gaining legal employment in the U.S. If you are interested in finding a U.S. position, know that it will require a significant amount of networking and consistent and proactive work throughout the year. If you are intending to seek a position here in the U.S., we highly recommend reading our U.S. Career Advancement FAQ before Getting Started.
