As of April 21, 2022 *
As a member of the National Association for Law Placement (NALP), LMU Loyola Law School abides by the Principles for a Fair and Ethical Recruitment Process. We expect students and strongly encourage employers to abide by the principles in addition to the Career Development Office policies outlined below.
These policies are designed to promote a fair recruiting process. Should employers have any concerns regarding these policies, we encourage you to reach out to Katrina Denny, Assistant Dean of Career Development. Students, consult your career counselor should you have any questions.
Non-Discrimination Policy
LMU Loyola Law School is a member of the National Association for Law Placement (NALP) and the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) and adheres to a policy of non-discrimination in the hiring, compensation, work assignment or promotion of any person on the basis of sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, race, color, religious creed, national origin, disability, marital, parental or veteran status or the prejudice of clients.
NOTE: An exception to the LMU Loyola Law School Career Development Office non-discrimination policy and AALS bylaws is granted to representatives of the U.S. Department of Defense who discriminate on a basis not permitted by Loyola’s non-discrimination policy or AALS bylaws. The exception is currently made in order to avoid the loss of funds that would otherwise be imposed under the Solomon Amendment (enacted by Congress in 1996).
Offer Timing
Employers extending job offers for 2L summer employment should keep offers open for at least 14 days. If a Pre-OCI offer is made (i.e. before the week of Phase I), the employer should leave that offer open for at least 14 days after the first day of Phase I interviews.
Employers extending job offers for full-time, post-graduate positions to students who were not previously employed by that employer should keep offers open for at least 14 days.
Employers extending job offers for full-time, post-graduate positions to students who were previously employed by the employer should keep offers open for at least 14 days.
Reaffirmation
Students must reaffirm offers if an employer requests reaffirmation in the offer letter/email. Employers may retract the offer if the student fails to reaffirm the offer within the time requested.
Offer Limit
Students should decline offers as quickly as possible. Students should not retain more than 3 open offers at a time.
Extensions
If necessary, students may request up to 7 days beyond the offer deadline with private employers. Students may request more than 7 days if pursuing jobs with public interest or government employers. While we encourage employers to grant reasonable requests, employers are not obligated to do so.
