Opportunities for International Careers

Increased globalization of production and services, the influx of foreign capital, and the opening of foreign markets to U.S. exports are dramatically changing the character of legal practice. Every legal practitioner faces opportunities for working in diverse legal cultures with foreign clients. To prepare our graduates for these challenges, the Law School has constructed an ambitious program of international courses, activities, visitors and exchanges.

For students who wish to specialize in international legal practice, the Law School offers a solid foundation. Opportunities for practice in public and private international law exist in law firms, corporations, state and federal government, non-governmental organizations and international entities. Graduates of the Law School have joined leading international firms in the U.S. and abroad and have worked for governmental agencies and multinational enterprises. Competition for these positions is high, and students need to distinguish themselves both by their experience and academic performance. The Law School offers students the opportunity for gaining the experience and education that can advance a career in international law.

The Office of Career Services and the Office of International Legal Exchange Programs can provide information about international employment and internship opportunities abroad and in the U.S.
