Free CLE Opportunity: Employment Law Update Seminar in Lansing, MI

Sterling Education Services is a non-profit continuing legal education company that conducts CLE seminars across the nation. We are holding a/an Employment Law Update seminar in Lansing, MI on September 9, 2008 and we would like to offer five law students scholarship-passes to this seminar as an introduction to our company in the hope that when they get out into the legal profession they will remember us and attend our seminars as paying customers. The students get a day-long overview of a particular aspect of the law, a seminar manual, and they also get an opportunity to network with practicing attorneys. We believe this is a win-win situation.

PLEASE NOTE: Our scholarship policy requires that recipients provide credit card information at the time of registration to secure their free pass. No charge will be made to the card unless the registrant fails to attend the program or cancel within three business days of the seminar. If a scholarship registrant should fail to show up at the program or cancel as described above a $50.00 no-show fee will be charged to the card provided. Registration for the program will serve as agreement to this policy. We have adopted this policy to avoid the losses associated with scholarship attendees failing to attend a program or cancel within a reasonable period of time.

For those students who wish to register, they may email me directly with the following information:

 The second annual Career Fair is structured as a table-talk and resume submission event to provide law students an opportunity to learn more about each firm or agency, while actively gaining valuable career advice.  Legal employers will have tables where attendees can drop off resumes and meet representatives from law firms of all sizes, local, state and federal government agencies, military JAG, and public interest groups to discuss summer and new associate positions, as well as internships and volunteer opportunities. Law students can interact with legal employers without the typical stress of formal, sit-down interviews.

 The Law Student Division's Career Fair also features a Resume Review component, with a panel of lawyers and legal recruiters available to critique resumes and offer suggestions to maximize impact and improve effectiveness.

 Law students must be registered for the ABA Annual Meeting to gain access to the Career Fair and Resume Review. Pre-registration has closed, but students who have not yet registered for the Annual Meeting, may do so onsite beginning Thursday morning, August 7 at 8:00 am. The registration fee for law students is only $75. Only law students wearing official ABA Annual Meeting badges will be admitted to the Career Fair.

 Registered law students may also take advantage of the many educational sessions offered during the ABA Annual Meeting.  While lawyers must pay for CLE events, registered law students generally are allowed complimentary admittance to educational events providing students the opportunity to meet and interact with legal professionals from across the country.
