Make contacts through the BCLT
The Berkeley Center for Law & Technology (BCLT) provides many opportunities for students to meet attorneys from over 40 top Bay Area firms throughout the fall semester. These opportunities include Job Fairs, Receptions and Lunchtime Presentations. Students should make every effort to attend as many of these events as your schedule will allow. It will give you the opportunity to practice talking to potential employers in a comfortable setting. It may also be a good means of collecting information about a firm in which you are interested or a chance to reinforce a favorable impression from an interview. Even if you are not interested in working for the hosting firm, you can learn more about what it is like to practice in the broad area of technology law. Remember, firms interviewing on campus often arrange interviews with students directly before or after their interview day and during breaks. So take advantage of these opportunities to meet attorneys and make contacts. Visit the BCLT website at http://www.law.berkeley.edu/institutes/bclt/events.html to obtain dates, times and locations of these programs.
