On- and Off-Campus Employer Events

OCS coordinates events with employers to take place on and near campus. These employer events are a great opportunity to meet attorneys and learn more about particular firms that recruit HLS students. Events in the Fall and Spring semester will be posted in this section.

Note that employer events that are not coordinated by OCS will be posted as Other Career Events.
