The Moritz Law Library’s Career Resources Guide will direct you to websites, journals, and books that can aid in the job search and interview process, as well as databases that can help you research potential employers and interviewers. The guide includes some strategies for identifying people to connect with on LinkedIn, Martindale.com, West’s Legal Directory on Westlaw, and other online directories. Of course, do not forget to check out the Career Development website and the Career Development Digital Handbook for invaluable information and guidance on how to find the best law job for you. The Career Development Digital Handbook also contains helpful guidelines for how to prepare and submit writing samples to prospective employers (see page 78 of the handbook). Please ask the Reference Desk if you have questions about the Law Library’s career resources and how we can help you develop your network!
