Job Postings
All of the job postings are currently available on-line at http://www.law.depaul.edu/jobs.
Current students: Enter your username (i.e., DePaul Student ID number) and password in the Current Members Login fields on the right side of the page.
LLM candidates and Alumni: Click on the Alumni Job Seekers link on the right side of the page and complete the necessary registration information. Once your registration has been approved, you will receive a username and password allowing you access to the job postings.
At present, Law Career Services continues to maintain the job postings in binders located in the Career Services Office and the Law Library. All information in the binders is also available on-line. The binders provide recent job listings and other information for a wide range of employment opportunities. These binders are updated several times during the week and are reviewed every two to three weeks to ensure that the positions are still available. Occasionally, a job may be filled before the Law Career Services Office staff has had the opportunity to update the records.
Multiple copies of the most popular job listing books are available. These binders should not be circulated outside the Career Services Office. Sometimes, detailed information is provided by the firm, governmental agency, judicial institution or corporation that is listing the job, and this also is included in the binders.
Alumni ID Cards
Every alumnus/a should have an alumni ID card. The card must be shown each time you visit the Law Career Services Office. Alumni ID cards are available at any of DePaul's ID Services locations http://www.lib.depaul.edu/alumni.htm. It only takes about five minutes to obtain a card. Alternatively, you can request your Alumni ID card online by clicking here (login required) or calling (800) 437-1898 for assistance. For an additional list of services, privileges and discounts available to you as an alumni-ID card carrying member, please click here http://alumni.depaul.edu/benefits/benefits.asp.
