If you are reluctant to look for summer employment outside Columbus because the added housing cost will be too expensive, consider using The National Association for Law Placement (NALP) Apartment Exchange, which puts law students from all over the country in touch with one another to sublet affordable student housing. The exchange is free and accessible online. After a simple registration process, you can list your apartment and also search the database for housing in the city in which you wish to work. Properties will be added throughout the semester, so check the database regularly.
There are other possibilities for locating affordable housing and your Moritz career counselor can help steer you in the right direction. In a challenging economy, your willingness to relocate expands your range of opportunities exponentially. In addition, spending a summer in another market signals your seriousness about relocating to prospective employers.
