Pre-Meet the Firms, January 19; Meet the Firms, January 27

Welcome back, everyone. We hope everyone had a relaxing and happy winter break. APALSA has two very important and very big events coming up!

Pre-Meet the Firms Discussion - Tuesday, January 19, 4-5pm, Room 870
Join APALSA and Sabrina Halloran from the CDO to discuss tips on navigating APALSA’s Meet the Firms Event. Any questions, please email Carolyn Mattus at mattusc@bu.edu.

APALSA's Meet the Firms - Wednesday, January 27, 6-7pm, Barrister's Hall; 7-9:30pm Room 1270
Are you thinking about working for a law firm? Do you want an introduction to law firm recruiting, law firm life, and to lawyers and recruiting coordinators from the area's top law firms? If so, come to APALSA's Meet the Firms, on January 27, 2010. There will be a moderated Q&A panel discussion featuring lawyers from six different firms at 6pm followed by a networking reception at 7pm with many Boston area law firms. Dress is business formal. Food and drinks will be served. If you have any questions, please contact Carolyn Mattus at mattusc@bu.edu.

Meet the Firms is a great way for 1Ls to get introduced to law firms in Boston as well as to what it's like to network with attorneys and make valuable contacts for the future. We strongly encourage all 1Ls to attend! This is a great way to practice talking to lawyers from firms with whom you may interview during 2L recruiting, as well as get a better idea of what it is like to practice law at a law firm. It is also the best way to get introduced to law firms and law firm life if you do not have any idea what it is all about or if you're not sure if it's for you.
