The Career Services Center at the Texas Tech University School of Law offers a wide range of services to students and alumni of the Law School. The center provides enrolled students with a forum for interviewing with prospective employers from throughout Texas. Law firms seek second-year students for summer clerkship positions that can lead to offers for associate positions after graduation. This process, "called On-Campus Interviewing," is one of the services offered by the center. The following off-campus recruitment programs provide other interviewing opportunities: Texas-In-Washington, Sunbelt Minority, Public Interest, and Texas Young Lawyers Association Off-Campus Recruitment Program.

The Career Services Center conducts workshops focusing on resume writing, interviewing skills, and individualized job search strategies. A career information series presented by attorneys who practice in a number of settings introduces students to the many ways in which a law degree may be used. The resource library of the center contains law firm and corporate resumes, employer directories, computer employer databases, and other materials useful in a personalized job search.

As a member of the National Association of Law Placement, the Law School is involved with other schools, bar associations, and firms in a national forum for exchanging information on law placement and recruitment.

Graduates of the Texas Tech University School of Law have a variety of areas in which to practice law. Traditionally, a majority of the graduates enter private practice in Texas as associates of established law firms or as solo practitioners. Graduates may also choose to practice as government attorneys at the local, state, or national level. Corporate positions are the choice of some graduates and all branches of the military employ attorneys in their Judge Advocate General Corps.
