The Career Development Office is committed to providing services and resources to help our students and alumni achieve their career goals. We believe that early career assessment and skills training are essential to a successful job search and career satisfaction. Whether you are looking for a part-time clerkship while still in school, that first post graduate position, a lateral move or a complete career change, we are here to support your efforts.

John Marshall Law School is entering an exciting period of growth that will result in enhanced career development services. We look forward to increasing the number of job postings from alumni, law firms, governmental agencies, public service entities and employers looking for attorneys to work in non legal positions.
