Legal hiring is booming and Northwestern law students have been extremely successful in obtaining jobs in both the private and public sectors. We are fortunate that all but a few of our third-year students have accepted positions for after graduation and that nearly all of our first- and second-year students have summer jobs. There are a small number of students in all three classes, however, who are still seeking work. We would appreciate you letting us know of any openings in your offices either for the summer or for the fall. If you have such an opening, please contact Bill Chamberlain, Assistant Dean for Career Strategy and Advancement. He will make sure the word gets out to the students. He may be reached either by email [ mailto:w-chamberlain@law.northwestern.edu ] or by telephone: 312.503.0661. Thank you for assisting our students.
