Our office often reminds students and alumni that networking is no more than making friends, though with a professional bent.

The Law Career Services Resource Library also has various books that may help you, such as Donna Gerson's Building Career Connections: Networking Tools for Law Students & New Lawyers, Susan Sneider's A Lawyer's Guide to Networking, Bryan Garner's The Legal Career Guide, and Kimm Walton's Guerilla Tactics for Getting the Legal Job of Your Dreams.
