Class Profile
AND FINANCIAL LAW: FRIENDSHIPS
Most students in the Graduate Program in Banking and Financial Law are seasoned lawyers while a few are recent law graduates. The typical student is 29 years old and has been a lawyer for three years before enrolling in the Graduate Program.
Some students use the Graduate Program to prepare for careers, others to sharpen skills already developed and still others to change their fields of specialization. A number of students are sponsored by their law firms, financial institutions or government agencies and return to them upon completion of their studies.
Graduates have typically taken positions in law firms, commercial and investment banks, other financial institutions and government agencies. Some have joined the regulatory services of large accounting and consulting firms. In banks and government agencies, alumni serve on legal staffs, in law-related areas and in management.
