Emory University is dedicated to providing equal opportunities to all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, ethnic or national origin, gender, genetic information, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, veteran’s status, or any factor that is a prohibited consideration under applicable law.

Release of Student Information

Emory Law does not release contact information about our students to employers, including addresses, telephone numbers, or e-mail addresses.

Emory Law Recruiting Policies & Guidelines

NALP’s Principles shall guide all employment offers for a Fair and Ethical Recruitment Process. Additionally, should there be disagreements between Emory Law students and employers around interpreting and implementing the policies and guidelines, both shall consult with the school’s Career Center regarding best practices and final decisions.

General Provisions

1. All offers of employment shall be made in writing, clearly stating if reaffirmation is requested and by what date. The employer may retract the offer if the student fails to provide reaffirmation by that date.
2. A copy of the employment offer shall be forwarded to the Recruiting Manager of Emory Law’s Career Center (Carolyn Roan) contemporaneously with the student’s receipt of the proposal.
3. A student shall not hold open more than three offers of employment at any one time. The student will release an excess offer within three business days of receipt.
4. All offers to Emory Law students from private sector employers with 40+ attorneys shall remain open for at least 14 days, except as provided for below; all reasonable requests for extensions should be granted:

First-Year Student Recruiting and Priorities

Law students should prioritize their studies during their first semester rather than their job search to maximize their success.

To support this goal, we kindly request that employers only initiate formal one-on-one recruiting contact with first-year students before November 1 if they plan to make final hiring decisions before grades become available in early January. This will give students the time and space to focus on their studies without the added pressure of job search and recruitment.
