Off-Campus Recruitment
Northwestern Law participates in various off-campus job fairs with law school consortia and legal organizations.
Off-Campus Recruitment Programs - The Law Consortium
The Law Consortium (TLC) includes the following nationally ranked law schools:
Boston College; Boston University; Cornell University; The George Washington
University; Northwestern University; and The University of Texas. TLC provides
legal employers the unique opportunity to recruit students from these law
schools in the following major cities:
| Miami, FL Atlanta, GA Philadelphia, PA |
Washington, D.C. Los Angeles , CA San Francisco, CA |
If you are interested in working in any of the cities listed above, we strongly encourage you to participate in the OCRP in that city. This is one of the best ways to gain access to employers that are interested in Northwestern Law students but are unable to travel to Chicago to interview during OCI. The OCRP Symplicity website is located at https://law-consortia1-csm.symplicity.com.
