Recruiting

On Campus

The Office of Career and Professional Development will meet your hiring needs year-round. We offer on-campus interviews in Bloomington to maximize the efficiency of your travel and recruiting time. Last year, we conducted a significant portion of on-campus interviews before classes started. Because of the overwhelming success of this practice, we encourage employers to schedule campus visits for prior to the start of the semester. Reserve a date for fall 2009 on-campus interviews online through Symplicity or by faxing or mailing in the On-Campus Recruiting Registration Form.

On Location

In addition to on-campus recruiting, we host on-location recruiting events in Chicago, Louisville, and Washington, D.C., where law firms, government agencies, and public interest organizations have the opportunity to conduct first-round interviews in the course of one day in one convenient location. Interested employers can access registration information via Symplicity. Fax these forms to register for our on-location events:

Video Conference

If you would like to have access to our high caliber candidates, but will not be able to make it to Bloomington this season, Indiana Law has video interviewing capabilities available for recruiting employers.  Please contact us for details.

National Law School Consortium

Featuring 10 of the nation’s top public law schools, the National Law School Consortium (NLSC) provides unmatched access to some of America’s most accomplished law students in a convenient, efficient, and cost effective forum. NLSC job fairs create a nationwide recruiting opportunity for outstanding law students in nine cities: Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Atlanta, Miami, and Dallas.

Nondiscrimination Policy

Indiana Law is committed to enforcing nondiscrimination in employment regardless of gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, age, race, or ethnic origin. The Office of Career and Professional Development facilities are open only to employers whose practices support this policy. A sole exception is granted to representatives of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). This exception will be in effect while the April 1997 DoD interim regulations implementing the military recruiting provisions of the Omnibus Funding Bill of 1997 and the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1996 and 1995 are in force. We ask that employers exercise care during on-campus interviews to ensure that the questions asked do not violate the spirit of this policy.
