Re: 2011 Loyola Patent Law Interview Program
Loyola University Chicago School of law is hosting the 2011 Patent Law Interview Program on Thursday, July 28 and Friday, July 29 in Chicago, Illinois. This is a nationwide interview program that targets patent law employers, rising 2L and 3L students, and students in Intellectual Property LLM programs.
Last year roughly 100 employers, 180 law schools, and 1,600 law students from across the country participated in the program. The program is entirely pre-selected, which means that students submit resumes and bid on interviews with the employers they are interested in, and employers then review the resumes of the students who bid on them and select the students they wish to interview at the program. Last year, approximately half of the participating students were selected for interviews.
Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in engineering or a technical science should consider registering for the program. You do not need to be patent bar eligible to register, although the vast majority of employers participating in the program are seeking patent bar eligible students.
For more information on the program, please refer to the program website at http://www.luc.edu/law/career/patent_students.html.
Online student registration for this year’s Patent Law Interview Program will begin on Monday, February 14 and close on Monday, March 7. On February 14, a “Register Now” link will appear on the above web page. At this stage of registration, you will only need to enter some basic information (you will upload your resume and bid on interviews later in the semester). Please note that our school is listed alphabetically as UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LEVIN COLLEGE OF LAW on the registration form’s drop down menu of law schools.
There is a non-refundable $35 dollar registration fee which you must pay by credit card to complete your online registration. Please have your credit card ready when you register.
Please direct any questions about the program to the Patent Program Liaison in our office, JESSIE HOWELL, HOWELLJE@LAW.UFL.EDU .

"As on-campus recruiting season hits top gear, potential law firm hires might not notice anything unusual about the questions they are asked, but the underlying goals of law firm interviewers have shifted.
Come enjoy a three-course meal with Catie Witherspoon, a consultant with Skalaski Consulting, on Sept. 29, at 5:45 p.m. at the Hillel House. Learn about proper etiquette during an interview or reception, breaking into an ongoing conversation, and connecting with other professionals. In this economy, it is vital you set yourself apart from the rest. We can show you how!
UF Law is a member of Law School Connect (LSC), a nationwide remote interviewing network providing videoconferencing services to law schools for legal recruiting through law firm sponsorships. LSC’s membership includes law schools, law firms, legal non-profits, public service agencies and courts. For interviews with non-local employers, you may now be able to use videoconferencing. While there are times when an in-person interview is preferable, videoconferencing may provide a potential employer with an additional option. This is particularly relevant in the case of judicial clerkship interviews because judges have free access to the network. If you are interested in using this no-cost service for your interviewing needs, please contact Wanda Chapman in the Center for Career Development for more information.
