Offers of the Faculty of Law

In addition to the lawjob fair, the Faculty of Law also offers legal consultations (family law and students).

The "basel lawjob fair" is held every year at the Law Faculty of the University of Basel. This job fair for prospective and working lawyers has been held once a year in March since 2008.

The "basel lawjob fair" offers interested lawyers and law students the opportunity to get in touch with law firms and companies in an informal atmosphere, to gather information and to explore job opportunities for (short) internships and first permanent positions.

Participation in the "basel lawjob fair" is free of charge for candidates. It is aimed at both trained and prospective lawyers looking for a job or internship. People who have not studied at the Law Faculty of the University of Basel can also participate.
