For details on these events, look here.

Transitioning from a law career to a non-legal career and 1Ls talking with 2Ls may be the most intersting here. Focusing on non-legal opportunities for lawyers has been an untapped resource, even before the economic downturn and it certainly recognizes the present realities of the law job market as well. Also, of course 1Ls already talk to 2Ls, but are they talking about the types of things that will advance careers? Here, a mentoring type relationship is created, which is good for law school solidarity, something that UCLA Law is especially good at, and 1Ls get some real world and up-to-date advice on summer job strategies.
