Career Services

First-year students attend a multi-day informational bootcamp in the fall, which covers the services OCS provides—such as resume and cover letter review, one-to-one career counseling, mock interviews, job search strategy, and networking events.

Students of all class years are invited to meet with representatives from various bar associations and learn about the benefits of joining a bar association.

Second and third-year law students learn about the benefits of clerking with the New Jersey Judiciary after graduation. Current judges and law clerks from various divisions of the New Jersey Judiciary will discuss a day-in-the-life of a clerk and answer student questions.

Law students will have the opportunity to make career connections in a social setting with attorneys from many different legal practice areas and learn about the important work they do.

Law students of all class years meet with representatives from public service organizations—including government entities and non-profits—and learn about summer internships and post-graduation positions that are available within each organization. 

Students of all class years network with attorneys from diverse backgrounds and learn about DEI in the workplace and the legal profession.

Students of all class years meet and network with judges from the New Jersey Judiciary and the District Court of New Jersey as they begin seeking judicial externships and post-graduation clerkships.

First-year law students meet representatives from law firms that participate in “Pre-Cruitment” and Fall Recruitment to learn more about their summer law clerk programs.

First-year law students network with partners and associates who are Seton Hall Law alumni working in Big Law firms in New York and New Jersey.

Our On-Campus Interview Program allows employers to select the criteria, class year, and application materials of the applicants they wish to see. We do not operate on a lottery system but, instead, offer all employers the opportunity to decide which students they would like to interview. Once you review the application materials and select the applicants you wish to see, OCS will schedule the interviews for you. Our Fall Recruitment Program begins in June, running through early November, and our Spring Recruitment Program operates January through May.

If you prefer not to conduct interviews on campus, you can register to participate in our Resume Referral Program, which allows employers to select the criteria, class year, and application materials of applicants. OCS forwards the requested materials to you and allows the employer to directly contact and schedule interviews with those applicants the employer is interested in meeting. Employers seeking to engage in Resume Referral may do so at any time of year, as well as during our more formal Fall and Spring Recruitment Programs.

Both students and alumni rely on the Job Posting section of our online database, Symplicity, making it one of the easiest ways to reach the largest number of qualified Seton Hall Law students and alumni.

There are two ways to submit a job posting:

1. E-mail Maria Capra, Recruitment Coordinator with posting details
2. Register online for a free Symplicity employer account and directly submit all details for the job posting. Once registered, employers have continued access to post job opportunities as they arise.
