Student Employment

Overview

Many students work for Marquette University during their tenure at the Law School. The majority of these students become employed as paid research assistants for members of the full-time law faculty. Please contact individual faculty members to inquire about research assistantships.  Current opportunities are also posted in the Law News bundled e-announcements, regularly circulated to the Law School community. (Student employment opportunities with the Law School are not available to non-Marquette students.)

Once a faculty member has hired you as a paid research assistant, you may request payment authorization from the University. Please see Kate Krystowiak in Eckstein Hall, Room 238, to complete the hiring process.

A student must complete all payroll paperwork and be fully authorized for employment by the University prior to beginning any work for Marquette. Work completed prior to obtaining authorization can NOT be compensated by Marquette.

Once authorized, a student employee may begin to track hours and submit time sheets for payment. Student pay checks are issued on a bi-weekly basis (pay schedule) and are deposited directly into an account designated by the employee. If a student has more than one paid position at Marquette University, all wages will be issued as one bi-weekly payment from Marquette.

Students may work up to 20 hours per week during regular class terms (fall and spring terms) and up to 37.5 hours per week during breaks and summer terms (if taking less than 12 credit hours). Student employees may NOT work (i.e., get paid) beyond graduation, though, in certain cases, a graduate may receive special authorization to continue research as a temporary Marquette employee. PLEASE NOTE: Research assistants often have special hours restrictions.  Please discuss these restrictions directly with your supervising professor.

More Information for Student Employees

Please complete all of the highlighted portions of your time sheets and obtain a supervisor signature before you submit a time sheet for payment.  Please record and total your time in quarter hour intervals (.25, .50, .75, 1.0, etc.).  Please submit one time sheet, on time, for every pay period work is performed in.  Please do not combine multiple pay periods on to one time sheet, and please do not submit time sheets late.  All time sheets are due to Room 238 of the Law School every other Wednesday, per the attached payroll schedule.
