Alumni Networking and Career Placement
Criminal Law Practice Center graduates benefit from the law school's strong and active network of over 9,500 alumni, many of whom act
as mentors, externship or internship supervisors, professional contacts,
and future employers for new graduates. Western State University is
particularly well-represented by alumni practicing criminal law as
prosecutors, public and private defense counsel, and judges. Western State University has an unrivaled presence
at the Orange County District Attorney's Office and Orange County Office of the Public Defender, where
20-25% of the attorneys are WSU grads.
