"After 30 years spent in courtrooms in Texas, ... I am comfortable that SMU's emphasis on how to think as opposed to what to think has been instrumental in procuring justice for a number of deserving clients."

Current Students

Our mission in the Office of Career Services (OCS) is to provide the resources and professional environment to enable our law students to achieve their career goals. We are committed to helping students find employment that best suits their interests and abilities and will work hard to help students in their searches.

We assist students in their self-directed career searches by advising them about career options and job search strategies and creating opportunities for them to connect with legal employers. We provide individual career counseling, assistance with resumes and cover letters, mock interviews and a current and complete resource and technology center. Our office hosts numerous career-related programs throughout the year, seminars, panel discussions and workshops designed to allow students to network with employers. OCS also works with a wide variety of employers to provide our students access and exposure to a broad range of employment opportunities, including on-campus interview, off-campus job fairs, and recruiting opportunities.
