The Small Firm Fair info on Symplicity now lists the more than 40 firms and organizations that will be participating in Thursday's Fair. Check out the list this weekend and begin your research!
We'll no doubt add additional firms and organizations next week, so check Symplicity for updates regularly. As we learn which firms are opting for resume collects we'll include that info on Symplicity as well, but be sure to be proactive: don’t limit yourself to only those firms collecting resumes. This is an excellent chance to make connections for the future, be sure you talk with attorneys from as MANY LAW FIRMS as possible.
The purpose of this Fair is to give you an opportunity to network with and gain knowledge from the 40+ firms and organizations in attendance. Do your due diligence and come prepared with strong questions for the attorneys.
On the day of the event please arrive in interview dress with resumes on hand. When you enter Campion Hall for the Fair, check in at the student registration table to get a nametag before proceeding to the ballroom.

Loyola University Patent Law Interview Program
Loyola University Chicago School of law is hosting the 2011 Patent Law Interview Program on Thursday, July 28 and Friday, July 29 in Chicago, Illinois. This is a nationwide interview program that targets patent law employers, rising 2L and 3L students, and students in Intellectual Property LLM programs.
Last year roughly 100 employers, 180 law schools, and 1,600 law students from across the country participated in the program. The program is entirely pre-selected, which means that students submit resumes and bid on interviews with the employers they are interested in, and employers then review the resumes of the students who bid on them and select the students they wish to interview at the program. Last year, approximately half of the participating students were selected for interviews.
Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in engineering or a technical science should consider registering for the program. You do not need to be patent bar eligible to register, although the vast majority of employers participating in the program are seeking patent bar eligible students.
For more information on the program, please refer to the program website at http://www.luc.edu/law/career/patent_students.html.
Online student registration for this year’s Patent Law Interview Program is now open and will close on Monday, March 7. At this stage of registration, you will only need to enter some basic information (you will upload your resume and bid on interviews later in the semester).
CPD will be paying the $35 registration fee for our students, so you will not be charged anything when you register online.

This one-year fellowship will provide $55,000 for the year to a social justice legal host organization outside of Washington State - whether in the U.S. or internationally - to cover salary, benefits and other costs associated with funding a full-time fellow.
About the Fellowships:
Each fellowship will support the legal work of a law graduate (who will graduate in December 2010 or May 2011) at a host organization on an approved social justice project. Projects must be designed in collaboration with a host organization to offer effective advocacy with underserved or marginalized individuals or groups, or to address social justice issues that are not adequately addressed by some existing aspect of the legal system. The project should provide the fellow with the opportunity to exercise leadership and introduce new legal services or significantly expand upon services already provided by the organization. Finally, the project should be designed to include the potential for increased opportunities for Seattle University law students to engage in meaningful social justice work. The Fellow will work with the Access to Justice Institute to develop, offer and oversee student opportunities
The deadline for submitting a proposal for either the Leadership for Justice Fellowship (1-year outside of WA; national; international) or the Justice in Action Fellowship (2-year in WA) is Thursday, March 3, 2011.

This two-year fellowship will provide $55,000 per year to a social justice legal host organization in Washington to cover salary, benefits and other costs associated with funding a full-time fellow.
2011-2012 Leadership for Justice Fellowship
This one-year fellowship will provide $55,000 for the year to a social justice legal host organization outside of Washington State - whether in the U.S. or internationally - to cover salary, benefits and other costs associated with funding a full-time fellow.
About the Fellowships:
Each fellowship will support the legal work of a law graduate (who will graduate in December 2010 or May 2011) at a host organization on an approved social justice project. Projects must be designed in collaboration with a host organization to offer effective advocacy with underserved or marginalized individuals or groups, or to address social justice issues that are not adequately addressed by some existing aspect of the legal system. The project should provide the fellow with the opportunity to exercise leadership and introduce new legal services or significantly expand upon services already provided by the organization. Finally, the project should be designed to include the potential for increased opportunities for Seattle University law students to engage in meaningful social justice work. The Fellow will work with the Access to Justice Institute to develop, offer and oversee student opportunities
The deadline for submitting a proposal for either the Leadership for Justice Fellowship (1-year outside of WA; national; international) or the Justice in Action Fellowship (2-year in WA) is Thursday, March 3, 2011.
