The College of Law is committed to affording opportunity for a legal career to persons historically underrepresented in the legal profession. The Law Opportunity Fellowship provides full resident tuition for three years and the opportunity to hold a research-assistant position for the second and third years. The College of Law discourages student employment the first year in law school due to the intensive course schedule. In no event may a full-time student work more than 20 hours per week. Research Assistant Positions Research Assistant positions are available with many faculty members only for second and third year students.
Some faculty members advertise available positions on bulletin boards around the building.
If you have a specific faculty member for whom you would like to do research, you should contact the professor. There are part-time student employment positions throughout the university. You do not need to apply for financial aid to work in these positions. The College of Law Career Services Office, located in Room 299 Boyd Law Building, provides many opportunities for you to explore legal employment options during and after your legal education. A limited number of jobs are available throughout the local legal community.
