A law degree offers many career options within the legal profession and opens doors to many paths in addition to law. Our Career Development Office (CDO) is committed to helping you turn your law school education and experience into meaningful and fulfilling career opportunities, wherever your career may take you. We start by meeting with all first-year students to discuss career plans and aspirations, resumÊ and cover letter development, and preparing for interviews. Networking events, employer information sessions, and industry mixers with members of the legal community are hosted throughout the year, providing you with an opportunity to make valuable connections with others who share similar career interests. You will receive the very best legal education and the CDO is here for you throughout your law school program. We’ll help you understand who you are as an emerging professional and how to apply your education, skills, and abilities to acheive your career goals.

MENTOR PROGRAM Many of the most accomplished professionals attribute part of their success to their relationship with a great mentor. A mentor can be your connection to experienced advice, guiding support, and valuable career opportunities. We have a network of alumni mentors across Canada from a broad section of practice areas who are eager to share their experience and insight. To give you the best possible start, we offer every first-year student the opportunity to be matched with recent Schulich School of Law alumni. So whether you want to work for the public prosecution in Yellowknife, in securities law on Bay Street, or in international diplomatic service, we have the connections to help you get there.
