This handbook is intended to provide you with the tools to start your job search as an LL.M. student. We encourage you to review the materials in this handbook and on the Career Resources section of the Law School website. Also, work closely with a career counselor to develop a strategy tailored to your individual goals. The mission of the Career Development Office (CDO) is to provide Notre Dame Law School students and alumni with the information, education, and tools they need to develop fulfilling, successful careers. LL.M. students face some unique issues relating to the job search process in the United States. Throughout the year, the CDO will assist LL.M. students by offering informational and skill development programs relating to the job search process in the United States. The CDO will also provide counseling services to LL.M. students on an individual basis. During these confidential one-on- one sessions, students and counselors discuss different employment-related topics: career plans, job search strategies, resume and cover letter review, interview prep, practice interviews, and more. Career counselors are available to meet with you on an individual basis to discuss your personal goals and career development strategy. There are two ways to meet or speak with CDO counselors: • Appointments: Use 12Twenty to schedule an appointment with a counselor. You can access 12Twenty through the Career Resources section of the Law School website. Counseling appointments are generally thirty minutes long and can be conducted in person (preferable) or by telephone. • Walk-In Hours: You may also speak with a CDO counselor by utilizing our walk-in hours. One CDO counselor is available to answer brief, career-related questions during walk-in hours each afternoon: Monday – Friday: 12:45 – 4:45 p.m. Walk-in meetings are generally fifteen minutes long. Should you need more time to speak with a CDO counselor, we encourage you to schedule an appointment. CDO counselors are happy to assist with all aspects of your job search and routinely work with students on career-path planning, resume and cover letter review, mock interviews/interview preparation, and networking. Please make an appointment through 12Twenty, our constituent management database, to meet with a counselor or drop by during our walk-in hours to discuss your job search today. 3 Career Development Staff Contact information for counselors and the Career Development staff can be found at http://law.nd.edu/careers/staff-profiles/ All the counselors can assist you, but please note the specializations below. If you would like to discuss opportunities in any of those areas, you may want to schedule an appointment with the counselor listed. Public Interest—Katelynn McBride specializes in Public Interest work including government and inter- governmental positions as well as positions with non-profit organizations (NGOs). Judicial Clerkships—Chris Kozelichki specializes in helping students attain Judicial Clerkships. Federal clerkships are restricted to US citizens, but foreign LL.M.s with domestic experience may be able to apply for some opportunities with state courts. International Students and International Opportunities—Patti McLaughlin specializes in the international practice opportunities and private sector positions (law firms and corporations) abroad. 4 JOB SEARCH PRPARATION & CAREER EDUCATION The CDO provides frequent informational and educational programs on a variety of job-search and career-related topics. Programs are generally held during the lunch hour with food provided. Topics and schedules change regularly. Please refer to the Law School calendar, the Monday Morning Update (MMU), 12Twenty, and communications from the CDO for the latest information. In addition to educational programming, the CDO provides the following services to LL.M students: 1. Individual Counseling—one-on-one career counseling and interview skills advice are available by appointment or during walk-in hours each week. We are here to help students in any way we can. Topics discussed may include job search plans, networking plans, employer research, resume and cover letter review and edits, interview preparation and general questions about life at Notre Dame. 2. Resume and cover letter reviews—students may submit resumes and cover letters for review or come to walk-in hours for review. The resume and cover letter sections of the LL.M. Handbook provide detailed instructions and examples to help students prepare U.S. style documents. 3. Mock Interviews—our office offers one-on-one mock interview sessions with career counselors. 4. Job Listings—our office uses a web-based career services system called 12Twenty to provide students and alumni access to online job listings for entry-level, experienced and part-time positions. Students can search for jobs that have been posted with our office and set up search agents to automatically receive email notice of new job listings. 5 International LLM Timeline—Job Search August Attend LL.M.

Students Most international LL.M. graduates find their LL.M. degree is an invaluable asset in their search for employment in their home country. Each year, international LL.M. graduates report that their degree opened doors to top employers in their home countries and gave them a tremendous advantage over attorneys without the LL.M. degree. While a U.S. law firm may seek foreign-trained attorneys to join its office on a permanent or temporary basis, a firm is primarily interested in those students who are foreign-trained attorneys with professional experience from the particular countries in which the firm has business relationships. Each year the demand for students from certain countries varies based on market conditions and other economic factors. Even if hired by a U.S. law firm, it is very often the case that the foreign-trained attorney will be placed in an office outside the U.S. Securing a job in the U.S. is extremely challenging. All U.S. employers are subject to restrictions of the U.S. immigration law. This means that employers may only hire individuals who are eligible to be employed. To be considered “eligible” for employment, LL.M. students must be (1) citizens of the United States; (2) aliens who have been lawfully admitted to permanent residence (green card holders); or (3) individuals expressly authorized for employment by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of Homeland Security. In practice, the U.S. immigration law makes it harder for non-citizens to get jobs in the U.S. The law intentionally serves to protect the U.S. workers by limiting the ways non-citizens can obtain authorization to work in the U.S. and imposing time limits on the work that is authorized. Moreover, the immigration law creates constraints on employers by requiring employers to sponsor candidates. These obstacles can be burdensome to both private sector and public interest employers. LL.M. students need to plan carefully to increase their chances of U.S.

  • Notre Dame Athletics Department
    NOTRE DAME WELCOME TO NOTRE DAME The interior of the golden-domed Main Building on the Notre Dame campus was closed for the 1997-99 academic years as it underwent a renovation. The facility was rededicated in ceremonies in August of ’99. It also underwent a $5 million exterior renovation, which included the cleaning and repair of the 4.2 million bricks of the facility, in 1996. The University of Notre Dame decided, however, was precisely the type of institution Notre Dame would become. How could this small Midwestern school without endowment and without ranks of well-to-do alumni hope to compete with firmly established private universities and public-sup- ported state institutions? As in Sorin’s day, the fact that the University pursued this lofty and ambitious vision of its future was testimony to the faith of its leaders — leaders such as Father John Zahm, C.S.C. As Schlereth describes it: “Zahm… envisioned Notre Dame as potentially ‘the intellectual center of the American West’; an institu- tion with large undergraduate, graduate, and profes- sional schools equipped with laboratories, libraries, and research facilities; Notre Dame should strive to become the University that its charter claimed it was.” Zahm was not without evidence to support his faith in Notre Dame’s potential.
