Office of Career Services

Overview

Take charge. Explore the possibilities.

The Office of Career Services (OCS) serves as a bridge between students, alumni and employers. The staff helps students and alumni to shape and realize their career goals. We also provide counseling, workshops and resources on judicial clerkships, international opportunities and non-law alternatives. In turn, we work closely with legal employers to give them access to some of the best legal talent in the country.

The Office of Career Services is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday to Friday however the period between 8-10 a.m. is closed to visitors for administrative work. The office is located on the first floor in Room 143 in the Law School's office building on Nathan Abbott Way.

If you are an attorney but not a Stanford Law alum, and you wish to use our resources, please refer to our reciprocity policy.
