Mitchell Hamline’s Recruitment Program facilitates connections between Mitchell Hamline students and employers seeking to hire for current open positions. In Summer 2023, interviews will be held on-campus and virtually, depending on employers’ preference. Many employers participating in this year’s Recruitment Program will be seeking students for Summer 2024 positions (including law clerk, summer associate, fellowship, externship and volunteer opportunities), part-time school-year positions (including law clerk, externship and volunteer positions), and post-graduate positions (including positions for recent and soon-to-be graduates in the Class of 2024).
Recruitment Program interviews will take place virtually and on-campus July 24 through August 11. Applicants should take care to leave room in their schedules for these weeks if they anticipate interviewing and avoid any unnecessary travel or alternate commitments during this time. If you cannot schedule interviews outside of your class times, please contact careers@mitchellhamline.edu and we will help you navigate the process and conversations with your faculty and the employer(s).
