INSTRUCTIONS ARE DIFFERENT FOR JD AND LLM STUDENTS. PLEASE BE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE CORRECT INFORMATION:
LLM STUDENTS
The Office of Career Services, the Public Interest Law Center, and the Office of Development and Alumni Relations are coordinating efforts to gather employment data by way of the Graduate Employment Survey. Due to the importance of collecting this information for several entities, including the American Bar Association, the National Association for Law Placement and U.S. News and World Report, only those students who complete the Survey will be given tickets to the School of Law’s graduation ceremony. You must fill out the survey as completely and accurately as possible, so that we can provide the most complete statistics for these organizations. All fields are required – please fill out every section completely to avoid follow up phone calls or emails.
We recognize that we are requesting this information early in the semester, and that many students have not yet finalized their post-graduation plans. Please indicate your current status and update your employment and contact information as your plans develop. The deadline for completion of the Survey is Monday, April 24, 2015.
In order to complete the Survey, do the following (this should take no more than 15 minutes):
Please note: Occasionally, when you make a selection the screen will reload with additional fields to complete; simply scroll back down to where you left off and continue completing the survey.
Please note: If you have not yet finalized your post graduation employment plans, you may still update the form at a later date.
Thank you so much for taking the time to complete the Survey and for providing your feedback and comments!

Last year roughly 135 employers, 190 law schools, and 1,400 law students from across the country participated in the program. The program is entirely pre-selected, which means that students submit resumes and transcripts to bid on interviews with the employers they are interested in, and employers then review the materials of the students who bid on them and select the students they wish to interview at the program. Last year, approximately half of the participating students were selected for interviews.
