NLaw Student Search

Northwestern University School of Law’s Center for Career Strategy and Advancement is excited to announce a new on-line service to our partner-employers, the NLaw Student Search. The NLaw Student Search will better connect you with our students based upon student and employer interests and will supplement your on-campus recruitment efforts.

Using the NLaw Student Search, you can identify students who might be a good match for your office in terms of work experience, education and training, and/or geographic affinity. Based on your search, you can view resumes on-line, print them out, and contact students directly.
