On- and Off-Campus Recruiting

Public Interest On-Campus Interviewing

Dozens of public interest employers interview at HLS throughout the academic year. View the list of employers who will participate in the 2012 Fall Interviewing Program, September 4-7.

Many public interest and government employers interview much later in the year, and notices of these other on-campus employer interviews can be found in OPIA emails and from the Office of Career Services. Because the majority of public interest organizations simply cannot afford the expense of sending an attorney to conduct interviews on campus, most of the employers who are hiring request that students contact them directly.
