IndyBar Diversity Job Fair: Registration Due June 18th

The Indianapolis Bar Association (IndyBar) cordially invites fall 2012, 2L law students (graduating May 2014) to participate in the IndyBar Diversity Job Fair.

We are seeking candidates who represent all aspects of diversity, who are looking for a one-of-a-kind legal community in a Midwestern city that has both cosmopolitan style and small-town charm.  Rising 2L students should register for the IndyBar Diversity Job Fair via Symplicity’s web site

After the student submits his/her registration, an automatically-generated password will be provided, which will enable him/her to use the system throughout the next few months. This password will be different from the one assigned by Symplicity for OCI. Student registration deadline is June 18, 2012.

Stay on Track for your Professional Development this Summer

Law Career Services has created two Career Development "To Do" Lists (one for 2Ls & 3Ls and one for new grads) to help you stay on track with your professional development this summer.  You can find them in Symplicity’s Resources tab; search with keyword “summer” to find the “To Do” List appropriate for you.
