Career Development and Alumni Relations
The programs offered by the Faculty of Law prepare students for a wide array of careers in the practice of law and related fields. To enable its graduates to take full advantage of opportunities available to them, the Faculty provides career counselling through its Career Development Office (CDO). The Director of the Office, a faculty graduate and lawyer with private practice experience, oversees all career development activities, which include assisting students with their search for summer employment and articling positions. Career development activities and programs also provide students with information about the various types of career opportunities open to them after graduation.
The CDO also assists employers with their search for candidates by posting electronic notices of job openings, organizing interview sessions, and overseeing the distribution of promotional material to students.
The CDO Advisory Committee, made up of two student representatives, the Vice-President of the LSA responsible for Clubs and Services, the Career Development Administrator, the Director of the Career Development Office and the Assistant Dean (Student Life and Learning), meets regularly to discuss policy issues related to career development.
