Networking Guide
How to build genuine professional relationships during recruit without making it feel transactional.
Networking in law school is about learning, context, and relationships. The goal is to understand people’s work and build a clearer view of the profession.
The best networking is specific, courteous, and sustained through thoughtful follow-up.
Students should treat networking as research rather than persuasion. Use each conversation to test assumptions about practice areas, office culture, workload, training, and market fit. Keep a simple log of insights to inform applications and interviews.
