Career Services

The Office of Career Planning at Akron Law School is dedicated to meeting the career planning needs of our students and alumni and the recruiting and hiring needs of employers across the country.

We achieve this through individualized self assessment, identifying appropriate legal career options, providing training in job search skills and offering many sources of employment opportunities for our students and graduates.

We also help employers nationwide, ranging from large law firms to public interest organizations and government agencies, hire the students who best fit their needs.

The Office of Career Planning is staffed by professionals with many years of career planning experience. We have one common goal:  to help our students and alumni fulfill their career objectives and to assist employers in meeting all their hiring needs.

The Akron Law School uses a password-protected career services management program, Symplicity, to post job opportunities. Students, employers and alumni may access this system by contacting Jeanne Kennedy for username and password information.

 Our commitment to assisting students and graduates is reflected in our mission:

• To give students the skills they need for their law job search, as well as job searches throughout their careers
• To promote the excellent reputation of Akron Law School and aggressively develop job opportunities for students and graduates
• To provide one-on-one job search counseling and guidance to students and graduates
• To provide students and graduates with up-to-the last minute information on job trends and employments options
• To serve the hiring needs of employers in a way which will encourage them to hire Akron Law School students and graduates
• To promote networking opportunities with faculty administrations, alumni and non- alumni employers
