IQ + EQ
Employers consistently report that BC Law graduates go beyond smart—they bring a high level of emotional intelligence to their work, including sound judgment, diligence, and a client-centered “can-do” approach.
Our rigorous academic programs are complemented by a culture of excellence that fosters skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork.
Interviews will take place virtually from July 23-25, 2024. Through this program, many of the largest law firms and government employers will conduct virtual interviews with 2L and 3L candidates for summer and post-graduate positions. This program offers 100% employer selections (i.e. pre-screening) with flexible scheduling options.
Boston College Law School and Boston University Law School host joint recruitment programs for public and private sector employers in New York, Washington DC, West Coast and Southern states. Interviews will take place virtually in July.
