The employment information includes the presence or absence of paid employment, basic job type, employer type, job location and starting salary. Third-year students are asked to complete a standardized questionnaire before graduation, and the responses are reported to NALP in February of each year. Open to all students, these programs provide a good basis to begin exploring various practice areas and developing contacts in the legal community. Hosted by Professor Colleen Medill, the College of Law's judicial clerkship advisor, this seminar is very informative for those considering applying for such a position. Course schedules and graduation requirements are explained, and students have the opportunity to get advice from local practitioners in such areas of practice as civil litigation, corporate and commercial practice, criminal defense and prosecution, and public interest law.
All participants receive a copy, and it is mailed to legal employers across the country.
It serves not only as a valuable tool in attracting employers to our students as a group, but also as a yearbook and guide for College of Law faculty and staff. First-year students' photographs are made in August during Orientation Week activities, and biographical information is due in the spring semester of the first year. The second highlights alums who are practicing in more traditional careers, such as in law firms or corporations. The third edition features alums working in the public interest with legal aid offices, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and the judiciary.
