Also, other resources can be found by searching the law library’s Online Catalog. If you need any assistance locating resources on this topic (or any other topic), please contact a law librarian by sending an email to lawref@samford.edu.
If you need personalized advice concerning your career goals, you can talk to someone from Cumberland’s Career Development Office (CDO). The CDO teaches students about the practical aspects of law practice, provides training on conducting efficient and thorough job searches, and helps students match their skills, interests and experiences to the needs of the legal market.
