Employers

Welcome Employers!

At St. John’s Law, we know that hiring success starts with finding the right fit. The St. John’s Law Career Development Office (CDO) partners closely with employers to connect them with talented, practice-ready students and graduates who bring strong legal skills, professional judgment, and a commitment to excellence to their work in the field. Whether you’re seeking summer interns, externs, entry-level associates, or experienced attorneys, the CDO team can help you identify and recruit outstanding candidates.

Let’s Work Together

Our collaboration begins when employers post a job with CDO or participate in our dynamic recruitment program.

Post a job

CDO's password-protected website, Symplicity, gives St. John’s Law students and graduates around-the-clock access to current job postings. If you have an open position, full-time or part-time, for the semester, summer, or if you are looking for a law school graduate or licensed attorney to fill a more permanent role, we’ll post it on Symplicity and share it with qualified candidates. To start the process, please complete and submit our online Employment Opportunity Form.

Participate in Our Recruitment Program

CDO coordinates a robust Recruitment Program to connect employers from a wide range of law and business settings in the public and private sectors with hardworking St. John’s Law students for summer and postgraduate legal positions. We offer a range of recruitment services to support your candidate search, including:

Direct Applications

CDO advertises employers’ recruitment information for students to apply directly as early as the fall semester of their 1L year.

First Looks

Employers looking to get a head start on summer recruiting can get early access to top emerging talent. CDO collects and forwards student applications to you early in the season, offering a strategic advantage in securing standout candidates.

In-Person or Virtual Interviews

We invite employers to recruit rising 2L and 3L students for summer and post-graduate employment. CDO collects applications and forwards them as a group for your review. You then select candidates to interview virtually or in person, with CDO scheduling the interviews at your convenience.

Resume Collections

For those employers that are unable to participate in Virtual Interviews/On-Campus Interviews, CDO will gladly collect applications and forward them as a group for your review and consideration.

To participate in CDO’s recruitment program, please complete and submit our online Recruitment Program Registration Form.
