Careers
Bora Laskin Faculty Law students have been proving themselves both in the classrooms and in their quest for summer positions.
To assist our students with their job search, we provided a number of sessions in the winter semester. We will continue to expand upon these offerings next year, including interview tips & techniques, as well as mock interview sessions for those that need some further feedback.
