Networking Your Legal Interests - and Planning Ahead

You're involved with student organizations and now is the time to help pre-plan for next school year while also doing some networking. For example, the American Constitutional Society and Federalist Society both have local lawyer chapters (ACS, FedSoc). Why not attend some of their events this summer so that you can meet more people and develop possible speakers for next school year at the same time? Some committees for the Chicago Bar Association do not meet during the summer months, but you can still reach out to the leadership of those committees for a cup of coffee to learn more about the work of the CBA, their practices, and how you can support their work during the upcoming year. These activities will give you a jumpstart on planning events for next school year as well as continue to build your network.
