Reminder: Midwest Public Interest Law Career Conference: February 4th

The Midwest Public Interest Law Career Conference will be held at Northwestern Law School on Saturday, February 4th in Chicago.  The conference is a great way for  students to find a public interest job and to learn more about public interest employers.  Students may still participate whether or not they previously registered for the Conference. 
 If you have received an interview, you must register in person for the conference between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. on February 4th or your interview(s) will be cancelled.  This requirement is outlined in detail on the MPILCC website here:  http://mpilcc.uchicago.edu/conference.html#Procedures.If you did not receive any interviews, there is still a way to get an interview.   Any student may register at the conference starting at 7:30 a.m. on the day of the event, where he/she will receive an open interview sign-up number.  Any student with an interview who does not register between 7:30 and 8:30 on February 4th will forfeit his or her interviews, and those interviews will be available for open sign-up.  Students will be allowed the opportunity to sign-up for an open interview in number order, so the earlier they arrive on February 4th, the better chance they will have of getting an available interview.  They may arrive before 7:30 a.m. and get in a line for registration.

Any Student may attend the Table Talk at MPILCC and speak to participating employers.
All Students are invited to attend the lunchtime workshop, Public Service Loan Forgiveness in Five Easy Steps,” from 12:00pm-1:30pm.


Detailed information on the employers attending and conference logistics is available on the Conference tab of the MPILCC website at: http://mpilcc.uchicago.edu/conference.html.
