UVA Law Careers Brochure, 2015

CAREERS

THE CAREER SERVICES PROGRAM at the University of Virginia School of Law

is one of the most successful among national law schools and provides

students with a wide range of job opportunities across the nation and abroad.

VIRGINIA enjoys a reputation for producing lawyers who not only master

the intellectual challenges of legal practice, but also contribute broadly to the

institutions they join through strong leadership and interpersonal skills.

As a result, private- and public-sector employers heavily recruit Virginia

students each year. Graduates start their careers across the country with large

and small law firms, government agencies and public interest groups.
