Welcome to Marquette Law School's Career Planning Center! Like other aspects of a positive law school experience, success in the job market requires shared responsibility between the school and each student. The Career Planning Center (CPC) embraces its role in this school-student partnership. Our experienced staff is well-positioned to support students in exploring and defining personal career objectives, crafting job search strategies that complement those goals, developing and refining professional skills, and cultivating relationships necessary for job search success.
While the CPC offers a wealth of services and resources, the cornerstone of our career services philosophy is individualized career planning and advising. Each student presents unique needs, motivations, values, goals, practice and geographic preferences, and credentials. Accordingly, getting to know students through one-on-one meetings is essential for us to best assess career options, tailor job search strategies, and generally guide support and encourage students in refining and achieving career objectives and navigating the extraordinarily competitive job market.
We look forward to working with you and being a vital component of your job search.
Diversity and Inclusion
Our Commitment to Students
Marquette University Law School is committed to diversity and inclusion. The Career Planning Center (CPC) upholds this commitment. The CPC strives to provide all students with a welcoming, supportive, inclusive, respectful, and accessible environment and does not discriminate on the basis of a person’s diversity, including race, ethnicity, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, ability, age, economic background, and political affiliation or beliefs. The CPC staff is dedicated to serving students of all backgrounds and identities, providing comprehensive career services that reflect multicultural awareness and that create equitable access to career resources and opportunities.
Our Expectations of Students
The Career Planning Center (CPC) recognizes that ensuring a welcoming, inclusive, and accessible environment is a shared responsibility between the CPC and Marquette law students. Accordingly, it is expected that students utilizing any of the CPC services and resources are just, inclusive, and equitable in their treatment of others in all areas related to careers, jobs, and job searches, treating fellow students with respect, dignity, and consideration. We will not tolerate any conduct in this regard that is harmful to other students or diminishes their worth, such as making assumptions about other students informed by implicit or unconscious biases. Any harassing or demeaning conduct may violate Marquette University Law School Academic Regulations 901(4) “Respect for Others.” If you witness or experience such behavior in the job search context, you are encouraged to report the incident to the Law School administration or file an anonymous incident bias report located on the Law School’s diversity and inclusion page.
