You are cordially invited to participate in the Twenty-Sixth Annual Midwest Public Interest Law Career Conference, at Northwestern University School of Law (downtown Chicago) on Saturday, February 7, 2015. Participation in the Conference is free and open to our first, second, and third year law students, who have registered by December 3.
If interested, you must let the CSO know the following information by emailing lawcareer@unl.edu:
1) Student Last Name
2) Student Middle Initial or Middle Name
3) Student First Name
4) Email Address
5) Current Class Year (1L, 2L, or 3L)
6) Law School Name
7) Registered for this event last year? (yes or no)
The Conference offers you opportunities to:
• Interview with a variety of public interest and government employers for summer law clerk and entry-level attorney positions (employers will pre-screen resumes and select students to interview). Though most of the opportunities are unpaid or invite outside funding, there are positions that offer a stipend. Since most of the employers come mainly from the Midwest, you may find a position in the communities you seek to serve.
• Meet with employers during Table Talk, a morning session where you can informally chat with employers about their organization's opportunities. Brochures, newsletters and other organizational literature from each employer will also be available.
• Respond to online employer resume requests for internships (volunteer or paid), fellowship, and entry level positions.
