New Career Services Resource for all students!

We are excited to bring you Lawcountability!

To give you a significant advantage in your job search and career development, we are pleased to offer you access to Lawcountability,J.D., a powerful technology platform that will make it easier for you to achieve more in less time by offering:

-On-demand programs that show you how to connect with the people you are trying to meet rather than collect random business cards.

You are encouraged to participate, and those who do will be eligible to win prizes on a weekly, monthly, semester, and academic year basis.
