Law school resumes

Post by collegebum1989 » Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:15 pm

One page max, with education, experience, and extracirriculars.

How should one include scientific research and publications into the resume? Should it be included in extracirriculars or under experience?

Is the one page max specific to a particular school? Mine was two pages.

If it were me I would put them on the resume unless it is already full and you need the room.

+1.

Not ever school makes you restrict your resume to 1 page. Add a section called "Research and Publications" (I would add it after Education and Experience and before Extracurriculars.
