Final Info on the Solo, Small & Mid-Sized Firm Information, Networking & Career Fair

NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK...
Networking allows you to do two important things: first, it allows you to gather information and advice; and second, it helps you develop professional relationships. Our hope is that you'll achieve both of these goals through the fair.

You’ve done your due diligence, you’ve researched the firms, and you’ve constructed great questions to ask of the attorneys, now you’re ready to NETWORK!

Make the most of this opportunity by connecting with as many attorneys as possible. Don’t limit yourselves to only those firms collecting resumes, that would be a mistake; every year students make connections with attorneys who weren’t seeking resumes, those connections lead to major opportunities. Ask the attorneys meaningful questions about their firms and practice areas, get contact information, follow-up, and stay in touch. This is an outstanding opportunity to make connections for the future and your participation in this event will play a critical role in your job search strategy this year, and into the future.

We look forward to a fantastic event! For those of you who haven't yet registered, it's not too late to sign up through Symplicity, let's impress the attorneys with a phenomenal turnout!
