Every Relationship Matters, especially in today’s job market! Rare Chance to Connect with Key Legal Professionals - Spring Professional Development Networking Series for 2L’s

If you had the opportunity to connect with former Judges, a U.S. Attorney, or a leader in the public interest community, would you? What if those judges and attorneys wanted to mentor you and make introductions to practicing attorneys, would you then take advantage of the offer? Of you course you would! Don’t miss a unique opportunity to connect with top legal professionals from the judiciary, ADR, criminal law, and the private, non-profit and government sectors:

These attorneys and retired judges want to HELP YOU answer these questions: Why is networking critical to your professional development? How can it help you as you start your legal career? AND most importantly, What role can they play in helping you advance your career goals? You’ll meet monthly in a small interactive group setting with your assigned mentor to discuss answers to all of these questions and more. This series will inspire you to be proactive! Please RSVP on Symplicity (under the jobs section - Job #2766) and include: Resume and a Short Statement of Interest (one page double-spaced max.) describing why you want to practice law, why you want to be involved in this series and how you hope it will benefit you.
