Student Responsibilities
Job Search. Students are expected to take personal responsibility for their own job search and communicate with the CSO on a regular basis and take advantage of the programming and resources available.
Intention to work. A student should not apply to, or accept an interview with an employer if the student has no intention of working for that employer.
Student Employment. Students are expected to follow the ABA rules regarding employment. Second and third year students should be cautious in taking on employment which may distract them from their studies. Furthermore, the American Bar Association accreditation rules require the College to limit full time students to a maximum of 20 hours per week of gainful employment.
Disclosure of employment. Once a student has accepted an offer of employment, he/she must immediately inform the Career Services Office AND other employers who are considering that student. Students who have accepted employment must not apply to or accept interviews from another employer who wants to recruit them for the same time period without full disclosure of the fact that they have already accepted employment.
Accuracy of information. All information contained in a student resume, grade sheet, or other document supplied to an employer should be truthful and accurate. Deliberate falsification of such information is a serious breach of ethics and can produce disastrous consequences for the student.
Cancellation of interviews. If you have scheduled an interview with an employer for a particular time, be on time. If you must cancel a scheduled interview, do so as early as possible. If you must cancel an on-campus interview, you must call the Career Services Office as soon as possible. Repeated cancellation of scheduled on-campus interviews may lead to loss of interviewing privileges.
Letters of Apology. If a student does not show for an on-campus interview the student must send a letter of apology to the employer and provide Assistant Dean Everman with a copy before the student will be allowed to participate in any CSO programs. In addition, the student’s access to ROSCOE will be suspended until such time as the letter is delivered.
NALP. Students are expected to follow the National Association of Law Placement’s (NALP) Guidelines for the Timing of Offers and Decisions.
