Placement Office Becomes Career Services Office to Reflect Mission, Purpose, Function Arietta Tompkins has been the Director of the Placement Office for six years. But the Placement Office name is now changed, and Tompkins explained that the process of securing a lau job has changed too. She described how the Law School has responded. CAREER SERVICES OFFICE (Jj Whai's the name “Placement OTlicc being changed to? At Career Services Ollice. Why the change? y4.’ I'he Dean fell it said more about what we did — we don't just place ix'ople. A lot of what we do is counsel jH-ople. we deal with the Alumni extensively. Placement Ollice just sounds like you walk in one door, get placed, and you walk out the other door. We do a lot more than that. Qj Whai's the percentage of I I Law students getting jobs out there? A.' My feeling is the numlxrs are going down, just from the feedback we're getting. It's gone down lor the May graduates of 90. but not very much. What I'm worried about is that that doesn’t really reflect what s hapjK'ned to a number of them, because some of our statistics said, they were employed, but I know they've been laid oil. ()’ You mention people Ixing laid ofT. is that a real problem now? A Yes. Yeah. The biggest thing we're doing with | eople at this |M int is those that have Ixen out either as May graduates last year, or that have been out two or three years, that have been laid oil. (A Why is that happening? A. There are a number ol firms dissolving, and others that are letting a number ol |»eople go. and a bunch of those people are ours. II you’re talking about firms in Texas letting [xrople go. some of them have got to be ours. How many firms come on campus to interview? A.' Well, it's gone down. From the height two years ago we had 554. Last year we had a little under 500. let's see — 400. But we still gel the same firms from Texas. We were gelling firms from New Hampshire and Minnesota, but it wasn't economical for them. We doubled the number of firms coming from Florida, but we weren't having anyone going to Florida. not even for clerkships. We lost some firms from New York, but that makes sense because they're really hitting the skids up there. (Jj There are approximately 1500 students in the Law School. How many ol them will eventually use the services this ollice oilers? A! We don't really have a way to show except by those that sign up lor on campus interviews. There are I more now than in the really good I limes Ix'canse so many ol those students would get jobs during Christmas or before the on-campus season I began. Two years ago you'd have about 80% ol the second years sign up lor on campus interviews, and about | 80% ol the third years. This year we hadalxmt 80%. of the third years sign up.
