Training Programs and Publications
The Career Development Office (CDO; www.mcgill.ca/cdo) provides materials and organizes seminars on how to pursue a career in law and related areas. Individual counselling is provided to assist students in their search for employment. Special newsletters for participants of various organized recruitment processes provide step-by-step tips, reminders, and resources. Students can also request a mock interview to prepare for a meeting with a potential employer.
Furthermore, the CDO is pleased to offer several panel discussions and networking events throughout the year at which practitioners and alumni discuss their area of specialization with students. Through these events and others, the CDO supports and promotes student employment opportunities in Quebec, elsewhere in Canada, and abroad.
The CDO publishes various guides to assist students with their preparations for life beyond the Faculty of Law. These include: The Career Development Guide, The International Law Career Guide, The Public Interest Career Guide, The Graduate Law Students' Career Guide, and The Smaller Firms and Solo Practitioners Career Guide.
