Spring Break Shadow Program
Sign up: OPEN NOW!!
Sign up Deadline: March 3, 2017

The spring break shadow program is a great way to make connections in the legal community. It is completely optional but can be a great way to learn about a specific practice area or get to see a judge in action. Employers have volunteered various times and dates throughout your spring break week this year to provide you the opportunity to learn more about what they do. Even if you already have plans to study all week, which is always a wise plan by the way, taking a single morning or afternoon to spend time in a working legal setting can be very worthwhile. Many students have reported that their shadow experience added much needed context to their studies. Take a look at the attached list and be ready when sign-up opens next Monday morning. Sign up requests will be taken after 8:00 a.m. Monday morning by e-mail or in-person at the CDO by Meghan Rivera (lawcareer@unl.edu) . You are limited to signing to one shadow opportunity per day for the first week.
