Career Development Office

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.
