RSVPs -- A Professional Habit

As you progress through law school, people expect you to keep your word. This simple habit is most often manifested in two areas: doing and showing up for what you said you would. The flip side of the latter is taking the time to RSVP for events. Events must be canceled due to lack of RSVPs, so developing the habit of making the time to attend events because they are of personal or professional interest to you or your colleagues is important -- whether to bolster your own interest in the topics or support others in your networking group. So don't forget to RSVP for not only Law Career Service programs, but those of the Centers & Institutes, bar associations, and the organizations you support.
