Professionalism in Big Law Recruiting

The legal hiring market is accelerating! Not too long ago, most firms would engage in on-campus recruiting in between the first and second years of law school. Now, many big firms invite 1Ls to apply as early as their first semester. This session will cover how to search for summer associate positions, how to network professionally, and how to conduct yourself during interviews.
