CAREERS

THE CAREER SERVICES PROGRAM at the University of Virginia School of Law

is one of the most successful among national law schools and provides

students with a wide range of job opportunities across the nation and abroad.

VIRGINIA enjoys a reputation for producing lawyers who not only master

the intellectual challenges of legal practice, but also contribute broadly to the

institutions they join through strong leadership and interpersonal skills.

As a result, private- and public-sector employers heavily recruit Virginia

students each year. Graduates start their careers across the country with large

and small law firms, government agencies and public interest groups.
