Individual career counseling is available to all currently enrolled students and alumni of The John Marshall Law School. CSO Coordinator Dennis Mazur handles scheduling for all counselors. To schedule an appointment, call 312.987.1402 or stop by the Career Services Office in Room 405.
Career counselors are assigned to all entering law students their first semester at John Marshall. Although students will hopefully interact with multiple members of the career services staff, the counselor to which a student is initially assigned will remain their “primary counselor” until the student graduates. This counselor should serve as the first point of contact for all career-related questions. Therefore, when scheduling an appointment, please ask to be scheduled with your assigned counselor.

Alumni
Please call the Career Services Office at 312.987.1402 to schedule an appointment with one of the career counselors. Counselors’ schedules tend to fill up quickly so alumni are encouraged not to wait until the last minute to schedule and appointment. However, the staff understands problems develop and occasionally alumni may need immediate assistance. The CSO staff will do its best to accommodate you in such situations. If you have special circumstances needing immediate attention, please alert Dennis Mazur, the CSO coordinator, to the situation and he will do his best to put you in touch with a counselor as quickly as possible.
Additional Considerations
Career counselors, in addition to serving as “primary counselors”, also specialize in different areas of counseling. By concentrating in different areas of law or student sectors, the staff hopes to better serve the needs of students and alumni, keep up to date on events occurring in those areas of law, and provide specialized counseling. Areas of expertise are as follows:
Laurel Hajek: Intellectual Property, Student Counseling
Kimberly Isemann: Judicial Clerkships, Federal Work Study, Student Counseling
Chanté Spann: LLM & MS Student Counseling
Stacia Goldstein: Mentoring Program, Receptions, and other CSO Programs
Tiffany Farber: Judicial Clerkships, Evening Students
Sahar Ali Dar: Evening Students, Programming
Cheryl Wright: Student Counseling, Fall Recruiting, Employer Outreach
Reminder: Students in their first semester of law school are not allowed to meet with their assigned career counselor until the third month of the semester. Therefore, students beginning in the fall semester must wait to schedule a meeting until November 1 and students beginning in the spring semester must wait until March 1. These rules are dictated by the National Association for Law Placement and will be strictly enforced by the CSO. Part-time evening students seeking non-legal work are not required to follow these guidelines and may schedule a meeting with the evening student counselors to discuss their non-legal job search at their convenience.
