The Career Services Office maintains an on-line listing of full-time, part-time, and summer employment opportunities for current students, alumni, and graduates of other law schools ( for a small fee). It is updated regularly and is an excellent resource.
The Career Services Office cannot guarantee the professional standing of individual law firms, attorneys, organizations, companies or other employers posting positions on the Job Bank. Although most legal employers are reliable and reputable, you should research potential employers as part of the job search process.
Current UW Law School Students
