Public Sector Recruiting Programs

Note: There is never a cost to post jobs or participate in any of our public sector recruiting programs.

Three Ways to Recruit This Fall:

1) VIRTUAL FALL INTERVIEW PROGRAM (2L Summer and Entry-Level Positions Only)

We will host two virtual interview programs this fall–the first session will take place on Friday, August 28 and the second on Friday, September 25. These interview programs are intended for all public sector employers who are recruiting 2Ls for summer positions and 3Ls for PAID entry-level positions. Our interview programs are pre-screened and scheduled: we distribute student applications to employers, who then select their preferred interview candidates, and we set up the interview schedule.

Dates & Deadlines:

Fall Interview Program - August

Registration deadline: Friday, July 24

Interviews held: Friday, August 28

Fall Interview Program - September

Registration deadline: Friday, August 14

Interviews held: Friday, September 25

Please register for either Fall Interview Program via Symplicity (detailed instructions below).

2) FRIDAY NETWORKING CHATS (All Class Years)

We will be hosting 4 virtual table talk 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 in 20-minute sessions. These networking chats will take place virtually via Flo Recruit on the following Fridays from 12 - 1:30 PM ET:

3) SUBMIT A JOB POSTING

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.

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.

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.
