In conjunction with other law schools that belong to our consortia, Boston College Law School holds off-campus interviewing programs in New York City, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, DC. These programs are designed as a convenience for prospective employers who are unable to travel to Boston, enabling them to interview a wide range of students at one time in a single location.
