Government Advising | Columbia Law School

Government Advising

Interested in a government career? We can help. We are proud to be one of only a small number of law schools with a designated career counselor for government service.

We can help you:

• Think through types of work that might interest you
• Identify summer internship opportunities in government that will be enjoyable and rewarding for you
• Find government pro bono opportunities suited to your interests and goals
• Connect to people in and out of the Law School, including faculty, graduates, and students
• Start your long-range planning of courses, clinics, and externships
• Develop your resume and cover letters

Also, throughout the year, SJI hosts speakers, lunches, panels, and other programs that expose students to a range of federal, state, and local government practitioners, practice areas, and settings. Check out our events page to see what programs are coming up.
