Your post-strike CDO
Votre dévouée équipe du CDP s'affaire à reprendre le temps perdu et à rétablir un fonctionnement efficace de ses activités, pour le bénéfice de toute la population étudiante. Votre aide est évidemment essentielle!
Please remember:
- that drop-in hours with the Director are suspended until further notice;
- that questions should be sent to the CDO Coordinator, not the Director;
- that a lot of your questions can be answered by looking in the Career Development Guide, and other relevant sections of this website.
Thank you! We look forward to working with you this semester, and your comments and suggestions are, as always, welcome.
Ensemble, nous travaillons vers l'avenir
The Career Development Office (CDO) acts as a liaison between law students and legal employers to ensure both a coherent flow of information and a perenity of relations between students, employers and the Faculty.
The CDO is a guided research facility, directed by and staffed with McGill Law graduates with experience in private practice. The CDO works with and for students, providing information and counseling on planning and preparing for their legal careers.
What We Do
We facilitate recruitment and interview processes for a range of employers and actively develop relationships with potential and current employers, such as law firms, governments, international organizations and universities. Our services reflect the Faculty’s bilingual and bi-juridical nature and include developing opportunities in a multitude of areas of practice, across jurisdictions and across legal traditions.
