How to Hire Colorado Law Students and Graduates
We work with a wide range of employers, including law firms, judges, businesses, government agencies, and public interest organizations. Our law students are interested in both traditional and nontraditional legal internships, as well as entrepreneurial opportunities where they can employ their analytical abilities, research and writing skills, and sound judgment. Our students are currently seeking Summer 2025, Fall 2025, and post-graduate opportunities. You can view our policies here. If you are interested in hiring a Colorado Law student or graduate, these are the best ways to advertise your opportunity:
