The Portland Interview Program, a day of coordinated employment interviews, will be held at a central location in Portland on Friday, March 5th. The program reaches out to smaller legal employers in the Portland area that don't ordinarily interview on campuses. Based on past experience, employers who participate will be looking either for 2L's for summer or for 3L's for next fall.
First years are, however, welcome to apply.
We expect to have more information by the first of February. We expect to schedule three or four Friday afternoon field trips to Portland at the beginning of the spring semester. Merv or Jane or a faculty member will lead groups of 15 students on visits to area employers. In the past, these have included NIKE, the District Attorney's Office, the Public Defender, and medium to large law firms. America's Greatest Places to Work with a Law Degree is the hottest book to reach our shelves since Kimm Walton's Guerilla Tactics.
