A law degree offers nearly limitless employment options that include jobs in private practice, government, public interest, judicial clerkships, corporations, graduate study or fellowships, teaching, administration and library or information science—or alternative careers that may seem to have nothing to do with your law degree.
Your goal is to leverage information about which jobs are available through resources at the Law School and your personal contacts. A good resume and cover letter are crucial to your successful job search, and the time you devote to perfecting your resume and cover letters will be rewarded. Craft a resume using our resume guide, listed below, and arrange an appointment to have your resume reviewed by our staff. You can even schedule a mock interview to practice your interviewing skills and receive feedback. Your early preparation may be the key to your post-graduate success.
You should use a variety of resources to help with your job search. The lists we provide are meant only to provide a point of departure. Remember, networking should continue to be a major part of your job search process as well.

Many law schools have specialized environmental law programs or public policy courses, but few are able to draw on the substantive expertise, resources, and faculty available at Indiana University’s top-ranked School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
The JD/MSES provides a coherent, comprehensive approach to environmental regulation, recognizing and understanding the essential roles of law, science, and policy. Students become familiar with a broad range of technical areas affected by constantly changing scientific knowledge, public pressure, and regulatory activity. You will explore the relationship between science and policy-making through studying such topics as hazardous waste management, air pollution control, water quality, land use, and endangered species conservation.
The JD/MPA, a joint degree between Indiana Law and the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, provides in-depth knowledge of public laws and regulations as well as a thorough understanding of the procedures and processes governing their formulation and implementation. This degree prepares students to understand and work in public service, nonprofit, and quasi-governmental arenas. You will gain skills in public budgeting and finance, as well as economic and statistical analysis.
IU’s JD/MBA is a joint degree between Indiana Law and the top-ranked Kelley School of Business. The JD/MBA focuses on global commerce, the emergence of vast new markets in China and India, and rapidly evolving communication technologies. Each degree is personalized with clinical work, externships, and elective tracks in areas such as corporate finance, entrepreneurship, real estate and tax law, international business law, or investment banking.
