Dear Colleague:

The seven North Carolina law schools and the North Carolina Bar Association have joined forces to sponsor the 2008 Eastern and Western Job Fairs to match up lawyers in smaller companies and firms in North Carolina with law students. These job fairs will provide employers with the opportunity to interview students for summer clerkships or entry-level positions, and there is no charge for employers to participate.

For your convenience, the job fairs have been scheduled on two Saturdays. The western job fair will be held at the Charlotte School of Law on Saturday, March 29, and the eastern job fair will be held at the NC Bar Center in Cary on Saturday, April 5. Our hope is that you will participate at the fair most convenient for you.

If you would like to attend either job fair, or if you cannot attend, but would like resumes collected and forwarded to you for review, please complete the Webform below by Thursday, January 31. Resumes of interested students will be collected and forwarded to you by Monday, February 18. If possible, please include your Federal Express account number on the following registration form, so that we may get your resumes to you in a timely manner. You will need to advise us of the students selected for interviews by Tuesday, February 26, to allow time for student notification and scheduling. Your interview schedule will be faxed to you in advance of the fair. The job fairs will begin with employer check-in at 9:30 a.m. Interviews will be scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in 30-minute intervals. Lunch will be provided at noon for all employers.

We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to interview students from North Carolina’s law schools. Please complete the registration form below and return it as soon as possible (deadline January 31). We look forward to your participation and to seeing you at the job fairs this spring.

If you have questions about the job fair, please contact Lisa Morgan at North Carolina Central University School of Law at (919) 530-6115.

Hope to see you this spring!

Sincerely,
The North Carolina Law School Consortium
& the North Carolina Bar Association
