Happy National Library Week! Celebrate with our new legal career guide!

Ever wondered about how to become a space lawyer or an animal rights lawyer but didn't know where to start? The Gallagher Law Library is here to help! 

In honor of National Library Week, the Gallagher Law Library created a new legal career guide, “Where Will Your Legal Education Take You?” This guide is designed to help law students, prospective law students, or those who would like a change in their career to explore over 30 different careers one could take after completing a law degree and links resources for future research into each of these careers. The guide also discusses graduate degrees that the University of Washington School of Law offers, which are mentioned on the career pages that they are most relevant to (a comprehensive list of UW Law’s graduate degrees can be found here). For many of the careers, we have also highlighted UW Law faculty who have experience working in relevant areas of law.

Don’t know where to start? Take our very short, interactive quiz (2-3 minutes) which will lead you to one of the career options for law school graduates. We encourage you to take it several times to see how your interests lead you to a different legal career path!

You may take the quiz here.
