After taking a break last year due to the pandemic, the Career Placement Committee hosted a Virtual Diversity Career Fair on Saturday, November 13, 2021. The fair was a great opportunity for law students, young attorneys, and experienced attorneys to meet with employers and learn about various legal industries. The event ran from 10:00am-11:30am through Remo. Employers were assigned informational tables while attendees, a mixture of law students and attorneys, circulated among the tables to meet with representatives from law firms, prosecutor’s offices, public interest organizations and companies.. Over twenty employers signed up for the event and close to ninety people attended.
