PICs Picks: Law Student Colleague Networking

As we progress through law school, the importance of networking and making connections is emphasized at every turn. However, we sometimes forget that our peers are powerful networking connections that require development too. These are in some ways your first professional and legal network and the experiences you share with these people will likely create deep and long-lasting relationships. It is critical to build and maintain relationships with these colleagues now, as they can be a valuable resource in the present, as well as years down the road in your legal career. Creating a reputation as a colleague that is hard-working, trustworthy, and willing to help others is something that your law school classmates will remember and take with them years after we have all graduated from DePaul.
