Evening Student Tip:  Network! Network! Network!  We know that you do not have a lot of downtime, but when you do (during one of your academic breaks), use that time to conduct a targeted networking campaign. You should consider setting up informational interviews and start making those important connections that will come in handy when you are ready to look for your first legal job. These will help you learn what issues are central to your practice areas of interest, and what kind of experience employers are seeking so you will know how to counter concerns about any lack of direct experience.

Be ready to hit the ground running

A Touro Law Center experience is filled with on-going challenges and endless opportunities for professional and personal growth.  The Career Services Office (CSO) enhances the Law Center’s innovative, hands-on curriculum, working with students and alumni to maximize their potential; enhance their marketability and professional development; and give them the edge they need to succeed in the real world of law.

Our trained career counselors help students and alumni learn, or fine-tune, the job skills they need to find career opportunities with:

  • Law firms
  • Federal, State, and local governmental agencies
  • Public interest organizations
  • Federal and State judges
  • Corporate legal departments

We also conduct a fall on-campus interview program – inviting larger employers to interview students for summer and permanent employment. We maintain strong ties with members of bench and bar, as well as current and potential employers.

Available to students and alumni, CSO services include:

  • One-on-one career goal and strategy counseling
  • Resume, cover and thank you letter assistance
  • Interview preparation sessions
  • Networking skills seminars
  • Career development and practice area programs
  • Online job posting via JACOB, powered by Symplicity
  • Post-graduate judicial clerkship application assistance
  • On-Campus interview programs
  • Career services library and online resources
  • Lifetime career services for alumni
  • Flexible programs and counseling schedules to accommodate the demand of evening students
Special Notes
Be Prepared for the Job Interview
The interview is your key to a job offer and it warrants a high level of preparation. We highly recommend this article, "Ten Ways Law Students Can Be More Persuasive In Interviews" written by Lisa Abrams and published in the August 2012 NALP newsletter. Please feel free to schedule an appointment with a counselor to review and improve your interview techniques!
Special Notes
Evening Students
The Career Services Office encourages all evening students to obtain legal experience at least during the final two years of their law school career. While those seeking to transition from a present non-legal to a future legal career may find it difficult to make the transition so early, it is important for students to have legal experience on their resume by the time they graduate. Please stop by CSO or call the office to make an appointment to see a career counselor to talk about your individual circumstances. Erica Edwards-O'Neal, a Touro Law alum herself, is CSO's point person for evening students.
