Career Development Program Descriptions 2009-2010
One of the goals of the Career Development Office is to present students with educational sessions and programs that will expose them to the various types of traditional and non-traditional legal opportunities available in the workplace. Many of these programs provide excellent networking environments as well as informative panel discussions.
