Services for Graduates
The Office of Career Services at NUSL provides a broad range of services for graduates, many of which can be accessed from its Web site. One of the most widely used Career Services resources is its online job listings. Click here for the instructions on how to access these job listings. Career Services is also a member of the Intercollegiate Job Bank. Through this resource, graduates can access job listings from law schools outside of Massachusetts. "Internet sites for job hunters" links to hundreds of career-related and job listing sites. The office also provides individual counseling to graduates who are job searching or changing careers. Graduates can set up a counseling appointment with Randi Friedman or Valerie Kapilow by e-mail or by contacting the office at (617) 373-2398.
