NALP & PSJD’s Government Career Resources for Law Students & Lawyers
If you’re interested in working for the federal government, the 2012-13 Federal Legal Employment Opportunities Guide (with the unfortunate acronym of “FLEOG”) is a good place to start.
The Guide offers a broad-based review of different career opportunities and paths to federal employment for law students and graduates. With tips on everything from the application process to looking for the ideal position, the Guide makes applying for federal jobs much less overwhelming.
When you’re done with the Guide, there’s even more helpful resources on PSJD’s Careers in Federal Government page. If you’re looking for information on working at any level of government practice – local, state, and/or federal – our Government Careers page contains a list of guides and links, including a state-by-state list of resources.
If you’re looking for government jobs and internships, log in or register on PSJD.org (it’s free for law students and alum!) and run an advanced search for job postings in the Government/Regulatory Affairs practice area. Happy job hunting!
