information
about upcoming system deadlines.
Have
You Considered Applying for a Post-Graduate
Fellowship?
(ATTN. Rising 3L's):
How would you like to
design
your dream job, and then get paid to do it? A
post-graduate fellowship provides this opportunity. Many UT
Law students have been successful applying for national fellowships,
including Equal Justice Works. (http://www.equaljusticeworks.org/programs/fellowships)
If this sounds like
something you would be interested in discussing, please stop in the
Law Career Services office or e-mail Jessica Mehl at
jessica.mehl@utoledo.edu.
Most national
fellowships have an early fall deadline the year before
graduation.
(i.e. If you have plans
to graduate in May 2009, you would need to apply by Sept. 2008 and
should start working on your fellowship application
ASAP)

Preparing
for Your Summer Positionà

the law school on Tuesday, April 1st, 2008. "Preparing for Your Summer" included
the following panelists: Cheryl Slotterbeck (Shumaker, Loop &
Kendrick); Michael Spiros (Spiros and Stewart; Lambertville, MI); Nathan Boyd (Anspach Meeks

- What firms are looking
for: smart, hard-working, shows initiative, fun to be around.
- If you are confused
about an assignment, ask for clarification before spending lots of
time spinning your wheels.
- ALWAYS have a legal
pad with you to take notes.
- Edit assignments, and
then edit 2 more times before turning them in. You will be
evaluated on the quality of your written work than any other
factor.
- Use your calendar to
manage meetings, activities and deadlines.
- Use electronic
communications with care-no slang (IM/text message
language). Some attorneys expect e-mails to be in a form
similar to a written formal memorandum. Pay attention to
individual style and preferences. When in doubt, formal is always
better.
- Join in on firm social
activities and make a conscious effort to get to know
everyone. (Qualifications- no intra-firm dating and no
excessive alcohol consumption)
- Take pride in your
appearance/wardrobe. If in doubt, think conservative.
(Assumption: the quality
of your work correlates with how you present
yourself)
- Treat all members of
the firm with respect. Secretaries, general support staff,
administrative staff, and associate attorneys often have input
into who is hired.
- Make it a priority to
set aside time through-out the summer to meet with your supervisor
for the purpose of getting feedback.
