Prospective Students

Where do you go from here? Once you've earned your diploma, what lies ahead? Is it a fast-paced job in corporate America? A position with a nationally recognized law firm? Public interest law? Government service? An elected office?

Your decision doesn't have to be made right now. But when the time comes, you'll be prepared because of your DePaul experience. Our Clinical Program will give you the opportunity to explore a wide range of legal specialties working on real-world cases. DePaul's extraordinary Field Placement Program will give you an on-the-job externship experience in virtually any environment where law is practiced, including the state and federal courts system, the Securities Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, major health care institutions and intellectual property venues like Chicago's world-class Steppenwolf Theatre.

Finding the perfect job is never easy. Our Law Career Services Office is dedicated to the needs of law students and offers valuable assets like one-on-one career counseling, job fairs, resume and cover letter reviews, and exhaustive online job postings for students and alumni. Of course, your performance and commitment are the most critical components, but you never have to go it alone.
