Employers may submit job listings directly through our online job bank at https://law-stmarytx.12twenty.com/HireJob. Employers seeking assistance or who prefer to provide their information via email, phone or fax should contact our office at 210-436-3511. Employers will receive application responses as graduates apply. If an employer chooses to have application accumulate online, the employer will need to specify when they would like to receive application packets from our office. Job listings remain active in our job bank for 14 days, unless specified differently by the employer.

FIRST-YEAR STUDENT Describe any special regulations pertaining to the recruitment of first year students. For example, are first year students eligible for spring OCI? When are job notices posted during second semester?
The Office of Career Strategy at St. Mary’s Law believes that early engagement is critical to students’ long-term career success and satisfaction. This engagement occurs in a variety of ways, from small-group discussion, wide-ranging programming and relationship-building events, key document creation, large class instruction, and, most importantly, individualized career advising. First-year students are introduced to the Office of Career Strategy over the summer and again at orientation, when, in addition to providing an overview of the office, we conduct a practical workshop (the topic changes each year) that gets students thinking about their career and professional development. They then have a wide variety of ways in which to engage with our office and all that we offer throughout the year. As a member of the Texas Consortium, a collaboration between all of the Texas law schools, St. Mary’s Law encourages first-year students to participate in the Public Service Career Fair each winter, the first organized opportunity for students to secure employment for the summer between their first and second years. First-year students are also able to apply for summer positions posted in our online job bank and participate in the Spring Recruitment Program.

Recruiting policy comments/explanation Employer Recruiting Policies and Guidelines

The Summer (Formerly Fall) and Winter (Formerly Spring) Recruitment Programs provide employers the opportunity to interview current St. Mary’s University School of Law students on campus for immediate, summer, and postgraduate positions. If your organization prefers, you can also participate in a Resume Collect.

Offer Timing Policies

As a member of NALP, St. Mary’s Law follows the NALP Principles for a Fair and Ethical Recruiting Process.

If your organization chooses to participate in our Summer or Winter Recruitment Programs, including a Resume Collect, we require that any job offer made to students for anything beyond immediate employment (defined as beginning to work for your organization within 30 days) be left open for a minimum of ten (10) business days. For any employment beginning within thirty (30) days, the offer must be left open for at least three (3) business days.

Given the small size of the Office of Career Strategy (OCS), these offer windows will provide candidates the time to consult with OCS staff and others to reach considered decisions. It will also offer employers the opportunity to thoughtfully and consciously manage offer ratios.

Dates for Summer Recruitment will be determined each spring, and 2L and 3L students will be eligible to participate.

Dates for Winter Recruitment will be determined each fall. In addition to current 2L and 3L students, 1L students will be eligible to participate in Winter Recruitment if your organization is interested.

Non-Discrimination Policy

All organizations that take part in recruiting activities, including but not limited to Summer and Winter Recruitment, Resume Collects, job postings, and participating in programming through St. Mary’s Law must comply with St. Mary’s University’s Equal Opportunity, Nondiscrimination, Sexual and Other Forms of Harassment Policies. By posting a job, employers agree to comply with these Policies.
