You’ve spent countless hours refining your resume, scheduling coffees with lawyers, and attending networking events; all in hopes of securing a summer position with your law firm of choice.
As you enter into the next stage of the recruitment process, you’re probably experiencing feelings of excitement, nervousness, and ultimately anxiety.

This workshop will consist of an in-depth seminar on interview / networking skills followed by a mock interview with personalized feedback to prepare you for success during the recruitment period and beyond.
