Professional Development
At the Brandeis School of Law, professional development is a core part of the student experience — not just something that happens in your final year. Through our Office of Professional Development (OPD), students receive personalized support, practical tools, and meaningful opportunities to prepare for life after law school. From day one, OPD helps students explore career paths, gain real-world experience, and build lasting professional networks — all while fulfilling our school’s commitment to public service.
