We expect to have information on prospective employers later this month and will let you know as soon as this information is available. The Portland program works much like our fall on-campus interview program. As soon as we have information on participating firms, we will post that information in the Career Services Office. Interested students will need to bring to the Career Services Office a cover letter and resume for each employer they wish to apply to. We forward resumes and cover letters to the employers.
Employers select the students they want to interview.
We post a notice of students selected in the Career Services Office. In connection with the Portland Interview Program, Jo Smith, a Portland area consultant and longtime friend of the law school who is helping to coordinate this program, will be here on Tuesday, February 23, to do a noon-hour workshop on interviewing skills. All students are invited to attend. Portland area legal employers have agreed to host groups of first-year students from the UO Law School this spring. These trips to Portland offer an introduction to the Portland area and to some significant employers and practices in that legal community.
