Lewis & Clark School of Law offers many chances for employers to connect with great candidates for summer positions, during school work opportunities, and post-graduate employment. We encourage you to consider participating in one of our organized recruitments or engage on your own with our law school community to both mentor great future lawyers and meet your employment needs.
