Hot Tip: How to End a Conversation at a Networking Event
Now what?
You've been chatting with a helpful lawyer for eight minutes (but who's counting?) and she's told you about her practice areas and given you some tidbits for surviving your second year of law school, you've even managed to work in your elevator pitch, but now you feel the conversation starting to wind down. How do you end it gracefully?
Don't panic. This is the perfect opportunity to hand her one of your business cards and ask for hers in return. A simple handshake accompanied by an exit phrase like, "I've enjoyed speaking with you and hope to run into you again soon," will suffice.
If you're worried about making an exit, practice. Here are some other exit phrases you can try:
- Thanks for taking a moment to chat with me, [insert name (this is a great way to help you remember names)]. I hope our paths cross again soon.
- It's been a pleasure meeting you. I spotted my mentor and should go say 'hello' but I hope we can speak again some time.
- It's been really helpful learning more about [insert practice area]! Thanks for taking some time to speak with me. Take care.
With practice, these conversations will feel more and more comfortable. Reach out to someone in CPD if you'd like coaching. Let's get out there and NETWORK!
Announcing the Thomas Tang Brief Competition
The Moot Court Board is Excited to Announce the 2017 Summer Thomas Tang Brief Competition
The Moot Court Board invites you to sign up to compete in the 2017 Thomas Tang Brief Writing Competition. The competition is open to all 3Ls and 2Ls. The Tang Competition is perfect for students ready to practice their appellate brief writing skills gained in Legal Writing II. However, completion of Legal Writing II is NOT a prerequisite for this competition; training will be provided.
Winners from the in-house writing competition will have the opportunity to compete at the regional level in San Francisco, October 13-15 and gain valuable oral advocacy experience.
This year’s problem presents the issues of whether warrantless acquisition of cell phone records for the purpose of identifying an individual’s location over the course of months and warrantless use of cell-site simulators to track an individual’s location and movement in real-time are in violation of the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures.
To sign up and receive more specific information and deadlines, go to TWEN, add "Moot Court Sign Up Page", and then click on "Sign Up Sheets." Two-person teams are required. To download the problem, go to the same page and click on "Competition Problems." The deadline to sign up is Monday, August 7. Mandatory training will be held on August 7 as well.
If you have any questions, please direct them to the competition administrator Nathan Duletzke.
