Public Interest and Government Jobs

Serving in the public interest covers a variety of practice areas and settings, including all levels of government and the nonprofit sector. The Office of Professional & Career Development (PCD) provides various resources such as guides, job postings, specialized counseling, events and networking opportunities. PCD also regularly collaborates with student organizations and various centers and institutes in both the law school and the community, in particular with the Center for Public Interest Law.

PCD provides resources for students of every class year to identify and connect with public sector organizations, including:

• Vincent Jobs Board, a class-year specific jobs board for all employers recruiting at DePaul.
• Programming
• Informational and mock interviews with alumni connected to DePaul, by request.

In addition to the resources available at DePaul, there are a number of places that students may look for information about public interest and public sector opportunities, particularly postgraduate positions, including:

• CBA Career Center
• Equal Justice Works Conference and Career Fair
