Career and Academic Services Office

The Career and Academic Services Office provides academic counseling to students, assists students and alumni in finding employment, and facilitates relations between the Scalia Law School and its alumni.

Career and Academic Services serves as a clearinghouse for information on available positions in the metropolitan Washington area, across the country, and overseas. Additionally, Career and Academic Services provides numerous support services to its students and alumni, including individual career counseling; resume, cover letter, and writing sample review; seminars on career-related topics; on-campus interview and job fair coordination; and a network of alumni and friends of the School of Law throughout the country who can provide advice and conduct mock interviews.

Career and Academic Services also provides academic services, advising students on issues such as course selection, obtaining academic assistance, and special needs or disability support. In addition, Career and Academic Services develops programs to introduce students to the law school's senior staff, faculty, and alumni.

All first-year students are required to participate in a 30-minute counseling session with a career and academic counselor.

Although the School of Law cannot guarantee employment during law school or upon graduation, we make every effort to help our students and graduates find suitable employment opportunities. Year after year, many judges, law firms, government agencies, and other employers seek our students and graduates. For detailed employment information, visit our Employment Information page.
