Career Planning

Abraham S. Ovadia ’09 Career Planning and Placement Office

At FIU Law, career planning begins the moment you start law school and only ends once you get where you’re going.

Planning a successful career and landing a meaningful position after graduation requires effort on your part, but our Career Planning and Placement (CP&P) Office is here to help through networking with the legal community and career-focused programming.
