ATTENTION ALL 1Ls, 2Ls, AND RISING 2E’S AND 3E’S – IT’S TIME TO START THINKING AHEAD TO THE FALL INTERVIEWING SEASON! Although it may seem a bit early, the Career Planning Office is already planning ahead to the Fall 2010 recruiting season. Hundreds of letters have gone out and many phone calls have been made inviting law firms, corporations, public interest organizations and government agencies to participate in our Fall On-campus Interviewing Program here at the Law School. All students should plan to participate in the Fall On-Campus Interview (OCI) Program. This can be a very confusing process so the Career Planning Office is hosting a Fall OCI Preview workshop next Wednesday, April 14 at 12:15 and 5:15 in Room W-206. Upper class students who participated in last fall’s OCI program as well as hiring partners from several Northeast Ohio law firms will be here to talk about their experiences and the do’s and don’ts of the OCI process. You don’t want to miss this workshop!! Lunch will be served to those who attend.
PDP – General Meeting and Election – Apr. 19, 5pm
On Apr 19 at 5 pm in W-208, Phi Delta Phi will hold a general meeting and officer elections for the upcoming school year. Food will be provided; members must attend to run for office.
I’m writing to remind you about an opportunity to enter a unique legal research and advocacy contest which requires you to submit only a very brief 1000-word idea outlining your proposal to protect nonsmokers’ rights – something you can fit in even while studying for exams, or immediately after exams.
Entrants compete for a $5,000 First Prize, $3,000 Second Prize, and $1,000 Third Prize, and the 30 finalists will all receive a travel grant to participate in the Seventh World Conference of Nonsmokers’ Rights in Washington, DC on June 12-13, 2010 where they can network with activists in the field. You can get more information from http://nosmokingcontest.org/.
