Law School Programming
Strategic Programming for Law Students Navigating Recruiting and Early Practice
Overview
SJ Strategies was founded on a simple belief: success in the legal profession is not just about working hard—it is about working strategically.
SJ Strategies provides practitioner-led programming for law schools seeking to give students clearer, more practical insight into how legal careers actually function. The work focuses on legal recruiting, firm dynamics, and early-career judgment, rather than résumé polish or abstract professional advice.
Designed to supplement career services, this programming helps students understand how hiring decisions are made by law firms, what firms actually value in practice, and how to navigate key transition points—particularly OCI and the early years of legal practice—with clarity and confidence.
