Etiquette & CSO-Sponsored Panels
If you decide to attend a workshop, please plan to stay for the full hour UNLESS you really have somewhere else you need to be (and if that is the case, sit by the door so your exit is not disruptive). The fact that students are walking out is especially troubling during the attorney panels. Securing speakers for panel discussions is difficult and very time-consuming (we contact two, three or four times as many potential speakers as actually say “yes” and unfortunately they often have to cancel at the last minute) and while the attorneys enjoy participating in these events it takes at least a couple of hours out of their day. It is disrespectful and disruptive to see people walk out, and some speakers may decide not to volunteer their valuable time again. Thank you!
