Office of Professional Development
Our Office of Professional Development brings together career services and experiential education to position students for success. We assist students with exploring and obtaining opportunities, evaluating experiences, making connections, and accomplishing their goals. Whether students wish to practice in Delaware, the surrounding area, or have an interest in other parts of the country, we help students get there! Our goal is to provide students with a solid legal foundation, connections within the legal community, and opportunities to explore environments allowing for our students to make an impact in the legal profession.
For Law Students
WilmU Law provides you with a solid legal foundation, connections within the legal community, and opportunities to explore environments for making an impact using your law degree.
Planning your career includes assessing your interests, developing your skills, exploring legal environments, and building a career development plan. Our office connects you with local and regional communities where you will participate in pro bono legal opportunities alongside practicing attorneys, attend meetings and educational sessions, volunteer, enroll in courses, and obtain paid employment to gain legal experience and build your network.
We are invested in your journey and want to learn more about you! Stop by our office for a quick conversation or schedule a longer meeting in person or virtually. To do so, just reach out through the phone number or email link below.
