Law School Career Centers Adjust in Bad Market

Law school career services offices are responding to the anemic job market by adding a hire or two, paying more attention to markets outside their home turf and serving up more tailored advice. The efforts are driven by growing demand from students as well as alumni, career professionals say. Susan Robinson, associate dean for career services at Stanford Law School, said her office is encouraging students to come in for more one-on-one guidance. "In this market, it can be hard to give generalized advice," she said.
