The Career and Professional Development Center offers individual guidance and support to all Albany Law students. Annually, the Center coordinates hundreds of interviews and hosts employer information sessions, networking events, and alumni-practitioner sessions while working in conjunction with the Office of Institutional Advancement and the law school’s 10,000+ alumni network.
“These graduates completed law school, studied for and passed the bar exam, and secured jobs during a challenging and uncertain time,” said Mary Walsh Fitzpatrick, Assistant Dean of the Career and Professional Development Center. “Our graduates’ success results from their hard work and the support of our committed faculty and staff who encourage and guide our students and, later, graduates.”
Annually, the law school reports this information to the American Bar Association to submits to the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar.
