Legal Assistants already have a demonstrated interest in working in the legal profession. Graduates with combined skills in legal research and legal administration are attractive to many employers. Also enclosed in this newsletter, is a card to recruit students to the program. Please give this card to someone interested in the program, or complete it with their information, send it to us, and we will deluge that person with information about the program and about the field of legal administration. Most of you attending this conference don't know Harry personally.
