Only SU students can be hired as a student employee which typically fall into two categories:

1) Faculty Research assistants which are typically 2L and 3L students so that 1L students can focus on coursework.

2)Work studies students are typically undergraduate students hired to law departments and paid minimum wage.

If you prefer to search to fill the student position, please work with your faculty support staff to post the position in Handshake or create an account directly.

Once a candidate has been selected, please send information including their SUID to lawbudget@syr.edu to review next steps. The College of Law Budget Office will notify you when the student is able to begin work. Please do not have your student start working until the hire is confirmed.

Important Notes:

You may want to ask your student if they have other positions on campus to allocate hours as total hours worked between all jobs must remain under 40 hours.

Once the budget office has the SUID they will be able to review next steps unique to each student.

If an I9 needs to be completed, they may not work until this is done.
