NALP NEWS
Join us for the Legal Recruiting Summit on January 24, 2019 in New York. This year's event features experts in the legal profession discussing a wide range of topics affecting entry-level hiring from the state of the legal market and data driven recruiting to managing and communicating with Gen Y. Space will be limited, so register today! (Participation in the NALP 2018 Fall Surveys is required for attendance.)
This year NALP will once again make available to US law schools a survey to use with their second-year students who participated in OCI for a 2019 summer associate position with a law firm. The survey includes inquiries relating to the start of the job search, such as deciding which firms to pursue, and experiences with the screening interviews; experiences with the callback process; and how students decided on which offer to accept and how quickly they did so. To participate, click the text linked above. The actual survey link specific to your law school will be sent in October.
NALP and ALI CLE, in collaboration with the PDC, are pleased to present the 2018 Professional Development Institute on November 29-30, 2018 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, DC. You won't want to miss two engaging plenaries and over 30 concurrent educational sessions, all on topics of great interest to lawyer and law student PD professionals. The conference will also offer a Management Foundations Course for newer PD professionals on Wednesday, November 28.
Are you new to the legal careers profession? Is someone on your staff new to the profession? Consider attending the Newer Professionals' Forum (NPF) on February 7-9, 2019!
