Next Week in LCS

If you are unable to read the newsletter in your email, here's this week dose of Career Service events, information, and more! Have a good weekend!

The National Black Prosecutors Association Annual Job Fair will be held on Tuesday, July 26th at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Job fair participants can find more information about registration here. If lodging is needed, the Minneapolis Marriott City Center has extended a special room rate. To make reservations, interviewees should call the Minneapolis Marriott City Center at (612) 349-4000 . Please note that the Minneapolis Marriott City Center will not accept reservations under the NBPA conference block of rooms at the discounted rate until you are a registered job fair participant , therefore; job fair participants must register for the Job Fair prior to making hotel reservations.



JUDICIAL CLERKSHIP PROGRAMMING: Are you interested in pursuing a judicial clerkship? We've held a few different programs to assist you through this application process: Judicial Clerkship Nuts & Bolts, Faculty Clerkship Panel, and Clerks' Perspectives: Past & Present. The first two programs are already available on iTunes U and are processing the final program soon. In addition  to the Judicial Clerkship Guide in the Symplicity Document Library, we've also added the Federal Judicial Center's  Law Clerk Handbook to the Document LIbrary as well.  2Ls may create OSCAR accounts now, and should make appointments with Associate Director Alisa Rosales to discuss application procedures and strategies.

The City of Chicago Aviation Department is looking for a paid law clerk (see posting #14407 in Symplicity, application closes no later than 4/18/2011).  This, and 53 of jobs have been posted to Symplicity this week -- check them out today!
