2010 Equal Justice Works Conference and Career Fair

Attention all 2Ls and 3Ls!
If you are committed to or exploring the possibility of a career in public interest or with the federal government, please consider attending the upcoming Equal Justice Works Conference and Career Fair. Coinciding with this event, SU Law will be hosting its Second Annual networking event for all student attendees and D.C.-area SU Alumni. This is a great way to get an instant network of contacts in D.C.
This year's Career Fair will be the weekend of October 22-23 in Bethesda, Maryland. CPD and AtJI will be offering scholarship reimbursements of up to $250 for your attendance at the Conference and Career Fair and the SU Student-Alumni networking event, to take place on Thursday, October 21.
If you are interested in attending, please make note of the following important dates:
  • Monday, August 30 - EJW registration opens. This is the first opportunity to see which employers will be participating in this year's Fair. Please do not register for the Fair until you have heard that you are receiving the CPD/AtJI reimbursement.
  • Tuesday, September 7 - Applications for SU stipend due to Stacey Lara-Kerr (slara@seattleu.edu) by NOON. Please submit a one page statement of interest detailing your interest in attending the Fair.
  • Wednesday, September 8 - Applicants for the stipend will be notified whether they have received the stipend by this date.
  • Friday, September 24 - All applications to interview for positions at the Fair due to EJW. Additional information about the application process and important dates is available.
A list of last year's employer participants can be viewed at the 2009 EJW Conference and Career Fair website.
