The IPLS is hosting a student panel for any students interested in attending the Loyola Patent Interview Program or the Southeastern Intellectual Property Job Fair. Anyone interested in these programs should come hear students who have participated in previous years talk about their experience and give advice about what worked for them.

Student registration deadlines are early (Loyola Patent Law Interview Program is March 6).

A collaboration between several organizations, this unique program is designed to round out skillsets needed to navigate and succeed in the ever-changing legal landscape. Going beyond a speaker series, Passport to Practice will require modest pre-reads, session attendance, and brief learning comprehension checks. Participants completing the requirements will be awarded a Certificate of Completion.

Coordinated by the Privacy, Security, Technology Law Society (PSTLS).

Professionals at firms and in-house counsel will speak about their experience with Privacy law, how they got into it, and offer advice for students interested in this career path.
