The career services center often hears from employers who seek L&C law students.
“I love hiring L&C grads because they bring intellectual curiosity and enthusiasm to their work each day. … As new attorneys, they consistently engage with challenging projects, while also making time for professional development and relationship building. They go above and beyond to ensure excellent service for their clients and thrive in collaborative teams that encourage them to grow as lawyers.”
