Programs and Application Information
 

The Career Development Office offers many recruitment programs during the fall season.  We encourage you to participate in any or all of these formal recruitment programs, but it is extremely important for you to realize that these programs are not the only way to secure a summer or permanent position.  These programs receive much attention, but it is typically only the large law firms which are able to predict their hiring needs for the next year and recruit in the fall.  Only an estimated 10% of all law students nationally are hired through formal recruitment programs.  The Career Development Office offers many other programs and services to help you reach your goals.

To participate in the recruitment programs you will have to use Symplicity, a web-based recruitment and database management system.  Symplicity contains information on the organizations recruiting at Suffolk this fall and allows you to research employers, apply to employers, and sign up for interviews online. 

Resources to help you during the recruitment process:
