Many employers visit the Law School each year to interview for summer internships and permanent positions. A Fall intern fair, usually in October, focuses on second-year student internships. Many third-year students also compete for judicial clerkships. The purpose of the job list is to serve as a clearinghouse for notices and employment postings, and the University of South Dakota School of Law Career Services Office neither warrants nor expresses any opinion about employers and firms posting notices. Potential employers are asked to acknowledge, in writing, receipt of the policy and that they will adhere to it.
Human resources add another important component to our services.
The deans and faculty at the Law School are available and willing to provide advice and assistance to students in their job searches and career planning. Students visit with their faculty advisors to discuss specific curricular planning. Information is also available on alternative uses of a law degree. This information, in conjunction with the availability of joint-degree programs between the Law School and other colleges at The University of South Dakota, provides students an opportunity to explore and prepare for various careers.
