Put MC Law’s Location To Work For You.
Success requires experience, and MC Law’s location in downtown Jackson offers many part-time employment opportunities during the academic year as well as summer positions, externships, and clerkships. Many of these jobs lead to permanent positions upon graduation.
The Office of Career Services serves as a liaison between employers and students. We help students prepare, interview, and secure employment. Our students are highly sought after by a spectrum of firms, agencies, and businesses.
The job placement rate for MC Law graduates is impressive. For the Class of 2025, our ABA Employment Questionnaire reflects that 94% of those graduates had secured employment within 10 months after graduation. Notably, for 2026, US News & World Report ranked MC Law as #30 in Law Schools with the Most Graduates in Federal Clerkships, a ranking shared with other prestigious law schools including NYU, Northwestern University (Chicago), and Georgetown University.
Our office strives to get to know each students' individual needs and provide guidance on how to embark upon a legal career. We recognize that many factors affect job decisions and we work side by side with students keeping in mind their unique factors such as grades and experience coupled with current external factors like the economy and employer demand.
