Interested in learning where Iowa Law alumni go?
The vast professional options in environmental, natural resources, and energy law offer exciting opportunities for Iowa Law alumni, a cohort whom have gone on to interesting careers across the United States and all over the world.
The field is large. Most of our alumni work in private law firms, government agencies, and nonprofit offices. Some work for international organizations; others teach in colleges or law schools. Some find themselves in exciting non-traditional careers.
Our Career Services Office works with students on their application materials, interviewing skills, and resume building jobs during school, and assists graduates whenever they want to transition, move or adjust their career paths.
Here are only a few examples of what our alumni are doing in the environmental, natural resources, and energy law fields.
