Fall Recruitment
Three Ways to Recruit This Fall:
Note: There is never a cost to post jobs or participate in any of our public sector recruiting programs.
1. Public Sector Jobs Bank
In order to highlight public sector opportunities for students, we are compiling and maintaining a live list of the 2L summer* 2026 and 3L fall 2026 post-grad public sector job announcements that you share with us for students to view in real time. We will also continue to post your jobs to our Symplicity jobs database.
*Please send fall 2025 and spring 2026 academic year and/or alumni opportunities to us at lawopicsjobs@georgetown.edu.
2. Friday Networking Chats
We will be hosting 4 virtual opportunities throughout the semester for you to informally connect with students of all class years. Employers will meet with groups of 5 students at a time during four 20-minute time slots and one 10-minute break. These networking chats will take place virtually via Flo Recruit on the following Fridays from 12-1:30 PM:
- September 12 (Registration Deadline: August 29)

Spring Public Sector Recruiting Program
Georgetown Law and the George Washington University Law School invite you to participate in the Spring Public Sector Recruiting Program (PSRP), an annual opportunity in mid-late January to recruit current law students for summer and entry-level employment opportunities. On average, over 200 DC area and nationwide government agencies, non profits and public interest law firms participate in Spring PSRP.
Registration for this program typically occurs in late October.
Partner Fellowships
Georgetown provides $23,625 to create new, one-year fellowship positions for new graduates at non-profits and state or local government agencies. Please email opics@georgetown.edu for information about this program.
Delaney Post-Graduate Residency Program
This program, made possible thanks to a generous gift from alumni April McClain-Delaney, L’89 and Rep. John Delaney, L’88, was established to help fellows bridge the gap between law school and practice. It provides a powerful complement to host organizations’ existing professional development programming, while offering critical community-building, networking, and mentoring opportunities.
