Great Jobs found in ROSCOE:

NPILF (Nebraska Public Interest Law Fund) is now open in ROSCOE. The Nebraska Public Interest Law Fund (NPILF) Summer Fellowships provide a limited number of stipends to matriculated University of Nebraska College of Law students who secure summer positions that serve the public interest. To be considered for a fellowship, applicants must meet certain individual and host-organization criteria described herein. NPILF strongly encourages all interested students to apply.

The Spring Break Shadow Program is now OPEN for sign up! This year over 20 judges, business, law firms and organizations have signed up to host students. A list of all the employers who have signed up can be found in the document library of ROSCOE. Stop down in the CDO to sign up for a chance to shadow someone for a half day!

If you have secured summer employment please add to the employment section of your ROSCOE account. If you are unsure how to do that please stop down to the CDO and we can help.

Upcoming CDO Events:

Exploring Opportunity: Judiciary Panel
Thursday, February 28, 2019
11:00am – 12:00pm
Room: Auditorium

This program will be held in conjunction with the Nebraska Supreme Court. Once the judges hear oral arguments, the judges will take questions from the audience for about 15 minutes. They will then excuse themselves to go and deliberate on the cases they heard. At that time, a panel of career and term clerks will take the bench and share with you about the job of a judicial clerk and answer questions from interested students.

Nebraska State Bar Sections for the Law Speed Networking Event
Thursday, March 7
4:00pm – 5:30pm
Student Lounge

Take part in our fifth-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 line-up for many students. RSVP must be in by March 1st.
