Assistant Director, Office of Public Interest and Community Service - Georgetown University Law Center

Located in a historic neighborhood in the nation's capital, Georgetown offers rigorous academic programs, a global perspective, exciting ways to take advantage of Washington, D.C., and a commitment to social justice. Our community is a tight knit group of remarkable individuals interested in intellectual inquiry and making a difference in the world.

Requirements

Tradition. Innovation. A superb faculty. Hundreds of course offerings - and all of this just steps away from the Capitol and Supreme Court. Georgetown Law is an exceptional institution in an enviable location. Students come here from all over the world to study international or tax law, environmental or health care law (just a few of our specialties). They come here for our top-ranked clinics. Most of all, they come because this is the place where theory and practice meet. At Georgetown, students learn the law in the place where laws are made.

The Assistant Director, Office of Public Interest and Community Service will help law students seeking summer, academic term, and postgraduate opportunities in the non-profit and government sectors explore their interests and strategize about career options. Additional duties include but are not limited to:
  • Counsel individual students, including those from groups historically underrepresented in the legal profession.
  • Provide feedback on resumes and cover letters, as well as guidance on networking and interview strategies.
  • Design and implement programs and communications (emails, listservs) to educate students on career options and skills.
  • Participate in recruitment programs, employer outreach, and alumni networking events.
  • Collaborate with relevant Georgetown offices, student groups, and outside organizations.
  • Cultivate relationships with employers and alumni.
  • Assist with additional OPICS programs that support Georgetown Law students and graduates.
