To practice law, first you have to practice
You will learn early how attorneys and judges process the challenges of day-to-day practice through hands-on exercises, including Gateway to Practice, an immersive two-day experience in which 1L students work in mock law firms alongside local practicing attorneys. As a 2L student, you can experience real-world practice through work in our legal clinics, consulting and even representing clients who otherwise may not be able to afford an attorney. You’ll also have your pick of more than 350 externship field sites.
Our career development office, staffed by lawyers with decades of experience, provides a range of counseling services. This includes resume and cover letter reviews, practice interviews and networking opportunities with area lawyers and fellow students. You’ll also benefit from our extensive network of more than 6,000 alumni who practice in Connecticut and beyond.

Per Interpretation 509-2 of Standard 509, law schools may choose to publicize additional employment outcome data beyond what the Employment Protocols require. This additional data, per Standard 509, must be “complete, accurate, and not misleading to a reasonable law school student or applicant.” Law schools are expected to use “due diligence in obtaining and verifying such information.” The following additional employment outcome data has not been, and will not be, audited by the ABA. It is meant to supplement the annual ABA Employment Summary Report, which reflects the employment status of members of each graduating class as of the annual Graduate Employment Status Date of March 15. Please reference the 3 years of employment outcome data posted on the ABA Required Disclosures webpage of each ABA-Approved Law School or at the American Bar Association website.
Interested parties can learn more about student employment outcomes by reading Quinnipiac Law's ABA Required Disclosures information or by visiting www.abarequireddisclosures.org.
