Recruiting Guidelines & Policies

We're here to help you build and strengthen your relationship with our students through job fairs, on- and off-campus interviews, event sponsorship, and job posting services.

Our Commitment

Cornell Law School’s Career Development Office is committed to serving as an integral partner to both students and employers as we work to support students in defining their career path and secure employment. We aim to help students successfully balance coursework, study periods, and recruitment. Similarly, we work to communicate clearly with employers throughout the year and set transparent and reasonable recruitment guidelines for all stages of the job search process.

In this spirit, and in response to recent NALP Recruitment Guideline modifications and feedback from students and employers, we have updated our recruitment policies effective April 2024.

Nondiscrimination Policy

All students, employers and their recruitment representatives are expected to adhere to Cornell University Policy 6.4 – Prohibited Bias, Discrimination, Harassment, and Sexual and Related Misconduct.
 
Pursuant to Policy 6.4, the university does not discriminate on the basis of protected status in the education programs and activities it operates, including admission and employment. Protected statuses include, but are not limited to, race, ethnic or national origin, citizenship and immigration status, color, sex, pregnancy or pregnancy-related conditions, age, creed, religion, actual or perceived disability (including persons associated with such a person), military or veteran status, sexual orientation, gender expression and/or identity, an individual’s genetic information, familial status, or marital status.
 
Cornell University is an Equal Opportunity Employer and Educator supporting individuals with disabilities and veterans. Learn more at hr.cornell.edu/eeeo.
 
Concerns and complaints related to equal opportunity in education and in employment based on statuses protected under federal, state, and local law, including questions regarding or complaints arising under Cornell Policy 6.4 should be directed to the Office of Institutional Equity and Title IX. Cornell Law School requires all employers using the Career Development Office facilities and services to comply with our nondiscrimination policy and with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
