The Office of Career and Professional Development supports J.D. and LL.M. students in the pursuit of private sector, public sector, government, and judicial clerkship opportunities. Through programs, networking opportunities, conferences and practice interview programs throughout the entire law school experience, UF Law students are prepared to seek and land the job of their choice.

During the 1L year, each student is assigned to an OCPD advisor who specializes in career and academic advising. Students work closely with their advisor to develop and execute a personal professional development plan, exploring how externships, clinics, summer employment, and other experiential learning opportunities provide practical legal experience that will benefit students in their legal careers.
