The scope and breadth of career opportunities within the law can often be overwhelming. The following pages provide a basic introduction to the most common sectors of employment for law school graduates, including links to informative articles, job search resources, and other helpful information.

For more information about specific practice areas within the law (e.g., litigation, corporate, immigration, etc.), the CSO recommends The Official Guide to Legal Specialities by Lisa Abrams, copies of which are available for check-out in the CSO Resource Room. The CSO also encourages students to schedule appointments with their CSO counselor to discuss questions about practice areas within the law.
