Student Evaluation of Legal Employment
Exit this survey
Each year the Career & Professional Development Center compiles a binder describing student legal employment experiences for the summer and prior academic year. The information in the binder will be available only to currently registered L&C students and not to employers.
Those of you who have used the binder know how helpful this information about other student experiences can be in your own job search. We are seeking a candid, personal account of your employment experience(s). Please complete the form in as much details as you feel comfortable with, and return it to the Career and Professional Development Center. Thank you in advance for your time.
*Please complete a separate form for each employment experience*
