NSBA Sections of the Law Networking Event
Thursday, March 10 from 4:00-5:30pm in the Student Lounge
Take part in our third-annual high-energy networking event that we put on in conjunction with the Nebraska State Bar Association. Representatives from most, if not all, of the 30 sections of the NSBA will be seated at tables while students rotate every four minutes. Dust off your elevator speech and get ready to ask questions! Make connections that can last a lifetime or just learn a bit more about the kinds of law that are being practiced in the community. The speed-networking will be followed by a reception complete with beverages and appetizers. Take advantage of this time to meet other attorneys or follow up with your favorites!
We need hard numbers to plan this event so rsvp today if you can commit to being there. This event is one of the highlights of the CDO programming line-up for many students.
BYC KEYS: client and business relations, research and information gathering, working with others

Sign Up for the Spring Break Shadow Program is Now Open!
This year, our tenth for the shadow program, we have over 20 employers and over 70 slots for students to participate in a Spring Break Shadow experience. This is a great way for you to learn about a practice area, see a Judge in action or meet more people in the legal community. Employers have volunteered various times to provide students the opportunity to learn more about what they do. Even if you already have plans to study all week, 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. Here are some great opportunities that are still available!
Education Law: Omaha Public Schools
Family Law: CASA, Anderson Creager & Wittstruck
Criminal Law: Seward County Attorney’s Office, Colfax County Attorney’s Office, Anderson Creager & Wittstruck
Non-Profits: Omaha Community Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, NSBA Volunteer Lawyer Project
Government: Nebraska Department of Agriculture, Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services
Finance: Waddell & Reed
The CDO does sign ups for the Spring Break Shadow Program the old fashioned way - pen and paper- because of all the moving parts. If you are interested in signing up, please stop by the CDO Office to sign up until Thursday, March 3. During this final sign up week, students are able to sign up for any other available slots that are of interest to them. Following the sign-up period, we will provide each student participant with the contact information of the Shadow Coordinator for the organizations that you’ve signed up to shadow. Students are asked to contact the employers/organizations directly to iron out the details of their shadow experiences, including the specific date, time, dress code, and parking arrangements. Please stop by the CDO to sign up or let us know if you have any questions.

2016 Loyola Patent Law Interview Program
ATTN: All Law Students Returning for Fall Semester 2016
Loyola University Chicago School of law is hosting the 2016 Patent Law Interview Program on Thursday and Friday, August 4-5 in Chicago, Illinois. This is a nationwide interview program that targets patent law employers, rising 2L and 3L students, and students in Intellectual Property LLM programs.
Last year roughly 140 employers, 190 law schools, and 1,300 law students from across the country participated in the program. The program is entirely pre-selected, which means that students submit resumes and transcripts to bid on interviews with the employers they are interested in, and employers then review the materials of the students who bid on them and select the students they wish to interview at the program. Last year, approximately half of the participating students were selected for interviews.
Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in engineering or a technical science should consider registering for the program. You do not need to be patent bar eligible to register, although the vast majority of employers participating in the program are seeking patent bar eligible students.
For more information on the program, please refer to the Loyola Patent Program website at: http://www.luc.edu/law/career/patent_students.html.
Online student registration for this year’s Patent Law Interview Program will close on Thursday, March 10. Online registration is now open at https://patentlawregistration.luc.edu/lawstudents/Default.aspx. At this stage of registration, you will only need to enter some basic information (you will upload your resume and bid on interviews later in the semester). Please note that our school is listed alphabetically as UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA COLLEGE OF LAW on the registration form’s drop down menu of law schools.
We will pay the $35 registration fee for our students, so you will not be charged anything when you register online.
Once you have registered, the program staff will communicate with you directly via email to the address that you entered when registering for the program. Please direct any questions about the program to the Patent Program Liaison in our office.
For more information, please see this listing in ROSCOE Events.
