"The Wayne Law Career Services Office played a major role in my obtaining a summer position with Foley & Lardner LLP. The Office’s professional staff members are extremely helpful, and are committed to assisting students in gaining practical experience and paving avenues to full-time employment upon graduation.”

— Gjina Juncaj, '09

The primary objective for most students who attend law school is to be able to put their acquired knowledge and skills to use by securing employment right after graduation. Wayne Law has an outstanding reputation for assisting students in doing so. In fact, that’s one reason many prospective students apply to Wayne Law.

Each year, the Career Services Office helps our students and graduates find a career path that’s just right for them. Staff members continuously maintain an online listing of full-time, part-time and summer employment opportunities for both students and graduates. They work closely with local, national and international firms to host a number of recruiting and interviewing events each year that bring employers to campus. 

With the Law School’s urban location and proximity to major law firms, courts, and government agencies, it’s no wonder our students find employment upon graduation. Among graduates of the Class of 2008 seeking employment, 89 percent found jobs within nine months after graduation at an average starting salary of $77,155.
