Looking to hire Texas law school students?

By Joe Hooker
TDCAA Assistant Training Director in Austin

Do you have open positions in the office or are you interested in starting an internship program? This list of contacts at all the law schools in the state will be a big help.

            Each link will take you to that law school’s Career Development page with information on posting jobs (which can be viewed both by law students and law school alumni), internships, externships, and career fairs. Also included is information on conducting on-campus interviews, many of which are done by Zoom now, which is a big help for those prosecutor offices far away from the nearest law school campus.

            Don’t hesitate to reach out to any or all of these contacts for assistance.
