Solo and Small Law Firm Events in February
Have you thought about one day starting your own law practice? Or, are you just interested in networking with local attorneys who are working in solo and small law practices? The first week of February is your opportunity to do both!
During the first week of February, the Career Services Office will sponsor numerous events to help you learn more about life in a small law practice and conduct some networking. First, on Thursday, February 4, join Professor Jessie Hill, Mr. Paul Kerson (of Leavitt, Kerson & Duane in New York City), and the Career Services Office to watch and discuss the 1987 movie “Nuts.” The movie will begin at 4PM and will be followed by a discussion led by Mr. Kerson, who has more than 30 years of practice experience.
A small reception will also be held on February 4 from 6:30PM – 8:30PM with attorneys practicing in solo and small practices. The event is designed to offer students the opportunity to talk with attorneys and learn more about their practices. This is your chance to introduce yourself to local attorneys and build your network. Watch The Record for information about RSVP-ing for this reception.
On February 5 and 6, the Career Services Office, Professor Jessie Hill, and Adjunct Professor Joan Burda invite you to join local practitioners for a Solo and Small Firm CLE here at the law school.
Students are encouraged to attend because this is a great opportunity to learn more about solo and small firm practice. It is also a great opportunity to network!! Most of the CLE speakers are attorneys who are currently practicing in small practices here in Cleveland. Carolyn Elefant, a lawyer from Washington, DC, and the author of "Solo by Choice: How to Be the Lawyer You Always Wanted to Be" will speak on both days. For additional information and to register, see the Lectures page on the Law School's website: http://law.case.edu/Lectures.aspx .
Add these events to your calendar now and don’t miss these opportunities to meet attorneys who are interested in talking with students! If you have questions about these events, please stop by the Career Services Office.
