Networking Takes a Plan

One of our connections through DePaul's ASK Program recently shared this networking article from the Wall Street Journal. This article addresses the question of an incoming student concerned about finding time to network while enrolled full-time. One other thing that networking shows though is that you are prepared to enter a demanding profession. When you are able to show an employer that you handled the competing demands of several classes, an externship/pro bono/job commitment, community involvement, networking, and (active!) bar association membership. Yes, it is a lot, but building these habits early in law school makes you a stronger candidate as well as makes the transition into the legal profession after law school.
