UN Employment Information Sessions
August 16, 2006 at 11:05 AM
The U.S. State Department’s UN Employment Information and Assistance Unit has agreed to make a visit to the Bay Area to talk to law students about opportunities for American lawyers in the UN and other international organizations.
Two representatives from the UN Employment Unit will be on Stanford Law School’s campus on Tuesday, October 3rd and on the UC Hastings campus on Wednesday, October 4th to give presentations regarding opportunities and qualifications for employment in international organizations. Law students from all Bay Area law schools are encouraged to attend these sessions. Many thanks to UC Hastings for sponsoring and offering up their space for the San Francisco session.
Although more specific information and flyers will be distributed in the next month, the tentative schedules for October 3rd at Stanford will include four sessions (1:00-2:15 p.m; 2:30-3:45 p.m; 4:00-5:15 p.m; and 5:30-6:45 p.m.). The tentative session schedules for UC Hastings on October 4th will be 12:40-1:30 p.m. and 3:00-4:30 p.m. Incidentally, the UN Employment representatives will be visiting UC Berkeley’s Masters and Ph.D. Career Fair on October 5th; however, we encourage law students to attend one of the earlier presentations focused on legal opportunities.
We would like to collect questions from you to forward to our visiting UN Employment Representatives in advance of their visit. This way, we can make sure that the questions we commonly get regarding UN employment are addressed during the sessions.
Please address questions to:

McDermott Minority Scholarship
August 03, 2006 at 2:35 PM
McDermott Will & Emery has been committed to increasing the number of minority lawyers at our firm for years. We are proud to have the 5th Highest Number of Minority Partners among U.S. law firms as ranked in the March 2006 Minority Law Journal.
To further our efforts to recruit more racial and ethnic minority lawyers, McDermott is pleased to announce the McDermott Minority Scholarship. McDermott will award a $15,000 scholarship and a position in a McDermott Summer Program to two second-year minority law students from ABA-accredited law schools. Students who meet McDermott’s hiring criteria and demonstrate leadership, community involvement, and a commitment to improving diversity in the legal community should consider applying.
Please visit the following link to view the application: http://careers.mwe.com/index.cfm/fa/page.view/page_id/f3e221be-2a7c-4b78-bc25-bb06e507e1d0/McDermottMinorityScholarship.cfm
PROCESS/TIMELINE
1) By October 6, 2006, all interested students must submit an online application, resume, transcript, and 1-2 page essay. The essay should include ideas the applicant has for how the number of minority students in law schools can be increased and how the applicant has improved and intends to continue to help improve diversity in the legal profession throughout his/her law school and legal career.
2) Applicants will go through the on-campus interview process or will be selected as a write-in during fall recruiting season. Applicants will be considered by the office(s) to which they apply for both callback and offer decisions.
3) Any minority student receives an offer and has applied for the scholarship will be considered a finalist for the scholarship.
4) On Thursday, October 19, 2006, all Minority students who received offers – including both those who applied for or did not apply for the scholarship – will be invited to attend a reception in one of McDermott’s offices.
5) Scholarship recipients will be announced on December 4, 2006.

For more information on PI/PS day, please visit the Public Interest Clearinghouse Web site.
Public Interest/Public Sector Legal Careers Day (PI/PS Day) is hosted each February by the Public Interest Clearinghouse and nine Northern California Law Schools.
PI/PS Day provides law students an opportunity to meet and interview with public interest and public sector legal organizations. The event also gives organizations exposure to a large group of people dedicated to public service, a chance to speak with and formally interview a large, diverse group of law students, and a forum for interacting with other public service organizations and government agencies.
The 21st Annual PI/PS Day was held on Saturday, February 12, 2005 at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, in San Francisco. 121 organizations and 740 law students attended.
PI/PS Day consists of:
1. Formal Interviews: Organizations conduct formal, pre-screened interviews at PI/PS Day for paid, work-study or volunteer positions. These interviews are open only to students at the nine sponsoring schools.
2. Meet the Advocates: During Meet the Advocates, representatives from various organizations and agencies sit at tables and students circulate and speak with them informally. Students do not need to make any advance arrangements with individual organizations for these sessions. Meet the Advocates is an excellent chance to learn about the work done by a large number of organizations and to explore opportunities with them. Each year, many students attending the MTA sessions are offered interviews after PI/PS Day – and these often result in jobs.
For more information, please contact event coordinator Althea Smiley at the Public Interest Clearinghouse at (415) 834-0100, ext. 307, or asmiley@pic.org.
