University of Illinois College of Law graduates are intelligent, dedicated, problem solvers, and team players. Most importantly, they are prepared to practice law and add value to your organization on day one.
We appreciate your interest in recruiting our students and want to make the recruiting process as convenient and successful for you as possible.
Interview Programs
Illinois Law regularly hosts recruiting sessions for employers across the United States. Our office will advertise your position and collect application materials from students. We then send them to you for review. You will select the students you would like to interview and notify our office of your selections. All of our recruiting programs are “pre-select” – we do NOT employ a lottery system. We then contact the students and coordinate interview times. After the interviews, we are happy to offer additional support as needed.

Job Notification Program
If you are unable to visit us on campus, The Office of Career Planning and Professional Development will post job opportunities for which students apply directly to your firm or organization. We are also happy to collect the resumes of interested applicants and send them to your attention as one package. You may post positions directly on Symplicity or notify us by completing the Job Notification Form below.
Select the type of notification:
Bylaw 6-3(b) of the Association of American Law Schools requires every employer participating in the On-Campus Interview Program and Job Notification Program to affirm its status as an equal opportunity employer, offering the College of Law’s students and graduates with equal opportunity to obtain employment without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender (including identity and expression), sexual orientation, age, or disability.
Our office will not post job opportunities or otherwise disseminate employment information in circumstances where a non-lawyer is seeking a law student to do legal research. This policy is to prevent students from being placed in a situation where they could be called upon to engage in activities that could be construed as the unauthorized practice of law.
