Dozens of guest speakers share their expertise about practice areas and career opportunities.

Access to Career Opportunities

Interested in practicing law with a large firm with worldwide offices? A small firm in a small town? Starting your own practice? Clerking for a judge? Using your law degree in a non-law setting? OCS will help.

Mock Interviews

Because interviewing is a skill that can be learned and perfected, you will have the opportunity to practice interviewing with professionals who will provide helpful feedback.

Educational Resources

As a student, you will have access to comprehensive career and professional development materials via a password-protected site and the OCS library.

Co-Counsel Program

The Alumni and Development Office pairs you with an alumni mentor in your area of interest.

Financial Support for Public Service Careers

William & Mary recognizes the importance of public service.  Because many summer internships with government agencies and non-profit organizations are unpaid and because student loans can make it hard to choose a public service career, you can apply for financial support through the Law School:

• Loan Repayment Assistance Program
• Summer Public Service Fellowships
• Post Graduate Public Service Fellowships

Additionally, the William & Mary Office of Student Financial Aid provides information regarding federal public service loan forgiveness.
