More than 10,000 men and women have graduated from Cardozo.  Many stay in the metropolitan New York area, others return home—to states around the country and countries around the world. Or, they go on to jobs in new cities and regions.  Alumni with J.D. or LL.M. degrees now live and practice in 46 states and 40 countries.

Most years approximately two-thirds of the graduating class take jobs at law firms, and Cardozo alums can be found in major law firms across the country.  But the range of professional experience is as broad a the field of law itself.  Cardozo graduates have served as law clerks on the US Supreme Court, Federal District and Appellate Courts, and the highest state courts; they sit as judges and are partners at major law firms; they are flourishing in the corporate world as corporate counsel or officers of financial institutions; they serve as elected or appointed city and state officials, in federal agencies, and in the offices of district attorneys, public defenders, and US attorneys.  And some have put their legal education to work more indirectly, choosing careers outside of the practice of law as business executives, union leaders, community activists, art dealers, writers, actors, and professors. For more information about career opportunities, visit the Office of Career Services.

We are proud of all our diverse alumni and their successes.  Read interviews with a few of them, immigration attorney Ari Sauer, trial lawyer Mark Yagerman,  labor attorney Seth Blau , or Susan Rosen, deputy general counsel for WGBH.
