Center for Professional and Leadership Development
The Center for Professional and Leadership Development (CPLD) invites students to partner in advancing their careers by providing professional development coaching, recruiting opportunities, electronic job-search tools, and events. Relationships matter in the practice of the law; many of the events and activities are planned to create and promote new relationships among attorneys, alumni, and UW School of Law students.
In addition to leadership and professional development, we promote public service/public
interest law in collaboration with the Center for Public Service Law through several activities, career fairs, events, and in partnership with programs such as:
Core Values
The Center believes it can serve its mission through core values. These values are: Integrity and mutual respect, teamwork,
superior competence, open and honest communication, and confidentiality. It is the goal of the center to demonstrate these values
in everything we do.
