Post-Graduate Fellowships:

If you have plans to graduate in May 2009 and are interested in pursuing a career in government or public interest law, you should consider applying for a post-graduate fellowship.  Post-graduate fellowships provide the opportunity for you to design your dream job.  Public Interest Fellowship applications are typically due in September/October of your last year of study, but require work over the summer months.  For more details, please visit: www.equaljusticeworks.org/programs/fellowships and www.skaddenfellowship.org/.  Many entry level federal government opportunities are available through the Presidential Management Fellows Program; details are available at www.pmf.opm.gov/

Notice:  LawMatch Service Expirationà Transition to Symplicity:

LawMatch, our online job posting service, will expire late summer.  Over the next several months, we will be transitioning to a more complete and student-centered service called Symplicity.  Symplicity is used by over a hundred other law schools, including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, the University of Michigan and the Ohio State University.  When Symplicity goes live, you will have the opportunity to search job postings, upload application materials for review, register for programs, research employers, and network with fellow students and alumni. Employers, at no cost, can register for our recruiting programs, post jobs and maintain an information profile.  After fall semester 2008, all on-campus recruiting and job fairs will run through Symplicity. 

Symplicity accounts will be created for all students registered at UT Law.  Prior to fall semester, every student will receive an e-mail at their utoledo.edu e-mail address that assigns a custom username and password to access Symplicity.  Once you receive this e-mail, please log onto Symplicity to complete your individual student profile with class year, practice area interests (for targeted job opportunity e-mails), and preferred methods of contact. 

In the coming months and years, we hope you will find Symplicity to be a great asset to your professional growth and development.  Training sessions will be offered to all students in the fall in conjunction with the system going live.
