The Cook County Bar Association (“CCBA”) is pleased to invite students to participate in the 29th Annual CCBA Minority Law Student Job Fair (“Job Fair”). In an effort to keep the student-to-employer ratio as low as possible, the CCBA is only inviting J.D. students in the classes of 2014 (Rising 2Ls) and 2013 (Rising 3Ls). Please note that students graduating during or before January 2012 (current 3Ls) are not eligible.
The Job Fair typically attracts more than 800 students from eligible U.S. law schools. Each year law firms, corporations, and governmental agencies register for the Job Fair. These employers are located primarily in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Washington D.C. and Wisconsin. In addition, we attract several employers from California, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nebraska, and North Carolina. For more information, please see visit our informational website at www.ccbaminorityjobfair.org.
The CCBA Job Fair primarily is designed to obtain summer associate positions for rising 2Ls during their second summer in law school. A limited number of employers also wish to interview rising 3Ls for entry level associate positions. Rising 3Ls, please be aware that Job Fair interview slots for rising 2Ls (current 1Ls) typically outnumber those for rising 3Ls (current 2Ls) by a 3:1 ratio.
