Careers Overview

Our goal at BU Law is to prepare students to be highly proficient, effective lawyers by equipping them with a strong combination of legal theory, real-world experience, and practice-ready skills. Our commitment is to help you launch your career by presenting options that work best for you; and to empower you to seize career-building opportunities—upon graduation and for the long-haul, in the U.S. or abroad.

We believe that successful outcomes are linked to our career development philosophy—that each student is unique, that there are many paths to a satisfying legal career, and that if you love what you do, you are much more likely to build a career of consequence. At BU Law, you will learn more than the law. You will learn how to use your legal education to pursue the career and life you want.
