Employment Programs

Student research assistantships are provided to selected second and third-year students with excellent academic records. The program enables students to work closely with faculty members engaged in significant legal research. Research assistants are paid on an hourly basis.

Outside Employment: The Law School requires students to devote substantially all of their working hours to the study of law. This means that an upper level, full-time student may not work in excess of 20 hours per week while attending law school. Entering students may not accept any outside employment during their first year.

Second and third-year students often benefit enormously from employment as law clerks, not only in terms of their finances, but also by adding practical experience to their school education and strengthening their resumes for future employment. However, full-time students must limit their outside employment in accordance with the restrictions set forth above.
