MPILCC Update

The Midwest Public Interest Law Career Conference (MPILCC) will be held Saturday, February 7, 2009 at Northwestern Law School. The conference is a great way to meet and connect with public interest jobs and employers. You may participate whether or not you previously registered for the conference.
  • If you received one or more interviews, you MUST register in person for the conference between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. on the morning of the conference. Failure to do so will cause your interviews to be cancelled. If you wish to decline interviews, cancel them through the appropriate procedures.
  • If you did not receive any interviews, you can gain interviews in one of two ways. If you were selected as an alternate, you may move into alternate sign-up on January 28 between 12:30 and 6:00 p.m.
  • All students, whether previously registered or not, may register at the conference starting at 7:30 a.m. on the day of the event, where you will receive an open sign-up number. Those interview slots held by students that failed to register between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. that morning will be available for open sign-up. Students will be allowed the opportunity to sign-up in number order, so the earlier you arrive on February 7, the better chance you have securing an interview.
  • Any student may attend Table Talk, a networking event with various participating employers.
Additional details are available on the MPILCC website. Associate Director Alisa Rosales has two programs scheduled for next week to discuss how to make the most of MPILCC. Check out Symplicity today for details and to RSVP for one of these sessions.
