How to Apply

Graduating Law Students
Check with your law school's career services office to see if the Department plans to schedule on-campus interviews or a resume drop at your school.  If we are not scheduled to interview on-campus at your law school or do not have a scheduled resume drop, you may submit your application materials directly to the Department.  We will not accept applications directly from students who attend law schools where we interview on-campus.
