For Alumni

Our career counselors are available to meet with you by phone, in person, or via videoconference to assist with career transitions and other career-related questions during most of the year. While we can’t act as a headhunter or placement agency, we can provide career advice, job search platforms, and other useful resources whether you are relocating, making a lateral move, or re-entering the workforce.

The CSO Job Bank on Texas Law Symplicity is available to Texas Law alumni at no cost, and contains lateral legal and non-legal job postings. To request access, please send your name (or former name while in law school), UT-EID, graduation year, and email address to cso@law.utexas.edu. Visit the UT-EID page to retrieve or obtain a UT-EID if needed.

We have extensive online resources to help you develop your application materials and job search strategy, search for postings nationwide, research employers, connect with placement and coaching professionals, and network with Texas Law alumni.

When searching for employment outside of Texas, reciprocity with other law schools may be particularly useful. Therefore, the CSO will facilitate reciprocity requests from other ABA-accredited schools that accord reciprocal services to Texas Law.

We provide continuing counseling support and resources for those pursuing a lateral judicial clerkship as some judges specifically want clerks who have previous legal work experience. We also provide information and resources to establish your career in academia and can connect you with members of our faculty for additional assistance.

At more than 25,000 members strong, the Texas Law alumni network is one of the largest for any law school in the country. Our graduates live and work all around the world in virtually every sector from public service to private practice, from entrepreneurs to judges, from public interest to high-tech, from community organizers to corporate leaders. They are a tremendous asset and invaluable resource for practicing and nonpracticing lawyers everywhere. Please be sure to update your contact information for information and opportunities that may interest you.
