There are several ways for alumni to stay involved with DePaul Law. One of the best ways is to interact with students is by participating in a program through the Office of Professional & Career Development (PCD). Whether it is by sitting on an information panel, participating in an on-campus interview or helping students by becoming a mentor, DePaul Law alumni can have a positive effect on current students' success.
Sit on a Professional Panel
Throughout the year, PCD plans numerous panel presentations, allowing students to interact with lawyers and learn about what it means to be an attorney. Panel topics range from discussions about specific areas of legal practice to general programs on professionalism and networking. The most engaging panels feature successful alumni who offer important perspectives and knowledge to students. Please email PCD or call (312) 362-8385 for more information.

Mock Interviewer
PCD offers a 1L mock interview program to provide students with their first opportunity to sharpen their legal interviewing skills in our 1L professional development program, Preparing to Practice. In addition to the 1L mock interview program, PCD also connects alumni with 2Ls, 3Ls and law alumni interested in honing their interview skills through mock interviews.
Each mock interview lasts 30 minutes, with 20 minutes for interviewing and 10 minutes of interviewer feedback to assist the student in enhancing their skills. For your convenience, mock interviews can be conducted at your place of business and the office can provide a list of common interview questions to aid in conducting the interview.
