Employment

As a student at Notre Dame Law School, we encourage you to make your studies and extracurricular endeavors your foremost priority. However, students do have opportunities to work part-time to supplement some law-school expenses. The university limits students to work no more than 20 hours per week during academic terms. Those students interested in working will find a number of opportunities on campus, as well as with employers around South Bend.

Assistant Rector Positions (open to 2L and 3L students)

An Assistant Rector is a head staff member who helps in the general administration of one of the University of Notre Dame’s undergraduate residence halls. ARs live in the residence halls, serving as mentors and friends while also supporting and enforcing University policies. Many ARs on campus are law students. Interested students may find additional details on the Assistant Rector positions through the Office of Residential Life page.

Research Assistant positions

Approximately 20 to 40 law students serve as research assistants for our faculty each year. These positions are during the academic year or summer. Faculty members advertise these positions via e-mail.
