King County Bar Association Environmental & Land Use Section Happy Hour

Law students and new lawyers, you are invited to join the KCBA Environmental & Land Use Section for a virtual happy hour (non-CLE) on Thursday, October 28 @ 5pm via Zoom.

It’s hard to connect during these remote times, which is why the KCBA Environmental & Land Use Section wants to reach out to law students and new practitioners with the opportunity to discuss careers in environmental and land use law.  

Join KCBA Environmental and Land Use members as they discuss their current practices, including the sometimes-rocky path to their current roles. The conversation will then open to attendees for questions and general discussion.

CLICK HERE to register. 

Learn more about KCBA's practice sections here, and consider joining as a student member.

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.

Review the Networking Top 10 on our webpage: http://www.law.seattleu.edu/Careers/Students/Informational_Interviewing.xml

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!

Contact Erin Fullner (fullnere@seattleu.edu) with questions or to obtain a roster of participating firms.
