MSU-DCL graduates have obtained positions with many of Michigan's and the country's prestigious law firms and corporations. Many federal, state and local government agencies throughout the country also employ MSU-DCL alumni. A profile of the last five classes indicates that a majority of the graduates took employment with private law firms. Ranging from boutique firms of 15 or fewer lawyers to large national and international firms, more than 200 different firms hired these MSU-DCL graduates. Graduates work in a broad range of legal fields including health care law, environmental law, intellectual property, bankruptcy, corporate and tax.
Graduates also serve as judicial clerks at the federal and state levels.
Still others have positions with U.S. attorney offices, state attorney general offices, and prosecuting attorney and public defender offices, as well as with other state or local agencies and departments.
