University of Georgia

Creating a legal resume.

Your resume is usually the first information about you that an employer will see.  Make certain it represents your qualifications in a relevant, updated, accurate and precise manner.  You should carefully review your resume for each job application and, if necessary, customize it for that job and employer.

To ensure quality and consistency among all students, classes of 2017 and later will be required to follow the format shown in the sample resumes below.  Contact a CDO Counselor if your personal experience warrants an exception from this standard format.

Top Ten Starting Points

• Keep your resume to one page, unless you are applying for a public interest or government position.  For government and public interest, a typical resume may be two pages, but no more.
• "Objectives," "Summary of Qualifications" and similar sections are not typically included in legal resumes, but may be used if you are applying outside the legal field (for example, using your J.D. degree in a non-Bar licensed job).
• Organize information in reverse chronological order within each category.
• Do not use color or graphics on a legal resume.  Avoid multiple fonts or those that are difficult to read.  Keep it simple.  Focus on content.
• "Computer Skills" are likely not relevant to the job unless specifically requested by the employer.  If you include "Language Skills" be accurate.  Include hobbies or other information as space allows, but always consider how various audiences will react to items that may be controversial.
• Use active voice.  The first-person subject "I" is understood, so don't use pronouns in your descriptions.
• Remove any unnecessary words; be concise.
• Save your resume in pdf form before sending, and test email it to yourself to be sure it retains its format through transmittal.
• Do the "10 Second Test" - hand a printed version of your final resume to a friend for 10 seconds.  Take it back, ask them to recite what they remember, quickly.  See if you are making the quick first impression you want to make.
• PRINT IT TO PROOF IT.  A typo or other error on your resume is often fatal to a job search. Your eye will more easily see the mistakes if you review a printed version as opposed to a version on a computer screen.

Representing Grades and Rank on Resumes

• As a general rule, if your GPA is in the top half of the class, or starts with a "3," include it.  Otherwise, you may want to consider leaving it off.  Employers will assume your grades were lower than top half if they see no mention of grades or rank.
• Include ONLY the exact GPA and ranking numbers as given by the Law School Registrar.  NEVER estimate or round up your rank or GPA.  NEVER use approximate numbers.  If you have any question, consult the Law School Registrar or a CDO Counselor.
• Never get grade or GPA information from the University Registrar; always use the specific GPA and ranking information you have been given by the Law School Registrar.
• Grade distribution (ranking information) lists are circulated and posted after all semester grades are released.
• List a specific numeric rank only if you receive one from the Law School Registrar ("Class Rank:  23/221").
• List a specific bracket only as assigned by the Law School Registrar:  top 10, 20, 25, 33, 50, or 75 percent.  
• The highest attainable GPA is 4.3.  If you list your GPA as x/y, then y is 4.3 ("GPA=2.72/4.3").

Cover Letter Outline and Samples

A cover letter should briefly introduce you to an employer, give context for how you found the job, and highlight a few of your skills and experiences that make you a competitive candidate. It is a highlight reel and meant to augment your resume – it should be brief, but informative, not just repeating your resume. It’s helpful to explain your interest in the field of work and specific company, so they understand WHY you will be a good fit for their job. Be sure to customize your cover letter for each job you apply to, referring to the job description as a guide for what content to include.

See below for specific resources.

• Co-op Cover Letter
• Internship Cover Letter
• Full-time Cover Letter

Applicant Tracking Systems

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are used by many companies to manage the flow of candidates in their recruiting pipelines. Just because a company uses an ATS doesn’t mean that your resume is only being reviewed by AI and keyword filters. There are many functions to make the recruiter’s job easier, from job posting to communications and scheduling interviews. However, the ATS can also streamline candidate identification and evaluation through several possible functions:

• Keyword search: Possibly the most talked-about, an ATS can compare your resume to certain keywords identified by the company and filter or rank resumes based on the degree of match. TIP : use a site like Jobscan (free trial), skillsyncer (free), or Resume Pilots (free) to compare your resume to the job description. Make sure you use the exact keywords the job description uses to describe your skills.
• Knock-out Questions : You may be asked a series of questions as part of completing a company’s application. These could be knock-out questions, the answers to which will lead to your resume being flagged to move forward or rejected from the process.
• Filtering: Some ATSs enable recruiters to filter applicants by many different attributes – how you found the job, whether you are a referral, your geographic location, etc.
• Social Media Sourcing : Some companies will utilize an ATS that has a social media function, allowing them to source candidates by conducting keyword searches across candidate profiles on LinkedIn (or other platforms).

To best facilitate and work WITH an ATS, it’s best to have a format-friendly version of your resume to use when uploading to a company’s website. Jobscan.co recommends that resumes submitted to an ATS:

• Are tailored specifically to the job, including keywords from the job description. TIP – you may want to include both the spelled-out and abbreviated versions of notable terms.
• Stick to descriptive and simple section titles and chronological order within each section so as not to confuse the software.

TIP: More is not always better! Do not overdo it by forcing every keyword from a description into your resume. These filters are only the first of multiple steps in most cases, so it still needs to make sense and be easy to digest by future readers.

Portfolios are an excellent way to demonstrate your experience and capabilities to employers. Depending on your industry of interest, there may be nuances and preferred content that should be included. Be sure to connect with faculty and Georgia Tech alumni and professionals working in your field(s) of interest to understand current trends and the content needed.

Here are a few tools you can use to create an online portfolio:

The Career Center recommends all Georgia Tech students join LinkedIn . You can upload examples of your work, receive recommendations, endorsements of your skill sets, and show your past work experience. It is frequently used by Fortune 500 employers to source passive talent, so be sure to keep your LinkedIn profile up-to-date over time.

Here is a helpful article from Wix.com breaking down common online portfolio content.
