2024 CSO At-Grad Survey: Why This is Important

 Thanks in advance to all graduating JD students for completing the At-Grad Employment Survey on Symplicity prior to receiving your graduation tickets.

Thanks in advance to all graduating JD students for completing the At-Grad Employment Survey on Symplicity prior to receiving your graduation tickets.

The American Bar Association requires that every ABA-accredited law school supply employment data 10 months following graduation. That employment data is audited by the ABA and made publicly available (in aggregate) on the law school home page for any consumer of legal education to see. The CSO collects this information at graduation from every 3L and it is used for several important purposes:

  1. It gives us a snapshot of the percentage of students who are employed before graduation, a data point that helps everyone understand what to expect based on the historical record.
  2. The at-graduation data is the baseline for us to conduct our mandatory 10-month post-graduate employment information that is audited by the ABA and made publicly available.
  3. If you’re still seeking employment, the At Grad Employment Survey enables the CSO to offer our services to help you. This includes email list-servs with job postings, advising meetings, interview prep and more. The CSO works with graduates after graduation until you have found a job. If you don’t have a job yet, we’re here to help. Please use our services!
  4. If you have a job lined up, congratulations! Information about your job is the baseline for our 10-month employment data.
  5. We will circle back with 2024 graduates in January 2025 to substantiate your employment data. Some data can be substantiated from a law firm website or LinkedIn in which case we won’t bother you. But you may get an email, a phone call or text from someone in the CSO simply asking to confirm information. When the time comes, will you please be kind and answer us? The data collection is very important, and we want to get it right for the sake of the reputation of the law school and our ABA accreditation.
  6. All data is reported to the ABA confidentially and by anonymous number – your information will not be sold or otherwise made public.

Thank you in advance, Class of 2024, and we look forward to cheering you on at Graduation at the Kimmel Center!

Loyola University Chicago School of Law Patent Law Interview Program (VIRTUAL)

 Loyola University Chicago School of Law is hosting the 2024 Patent Law Interview Program on Thursday and Friday, July 18-19. This nationwide interview program targets patent law employers and rising 2L and 3L students. The 2024 Patent Law Interview Program Interviews will be held VIRTUALLY. Loyola University Chicago School of Law is hosting the 2024 Patent Law Interview Program on Thursday and Friday, July 18-19. This nationwide interview program targets patent law employers and rising 2L and 3L students. The 2024 Patent Law Interview Program Interviews will be held VIRTUALLY.

Last year roughly 130 employers, 190 law schools, and nearly 1,000 law students from across the country participated in the program. The program is entirely pre-selected, which means that students submit application materials to apply to interviews with the employers they are interested in, and employers then review their materials and select the students they wish to interview at the program. Last year, approximately half of the participating students were selected for interviews.

Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in engineering or a technical science should consider registering for the program. You do not need to be patent bar eligible to register, although the vast majority of employers participating in the program are seeking patent bar eligible students.

For more information on the program, please refer to the Loyola Patent Program website at: https://www.luc.edu/law/currentstudents/careerservices/patentprogram/.

Online student registration for this year’s Patent Law Interview Program is open and the deadline to register is Wednesday, March 27. The Career Strategies Office will handle registration and payment for Drexel Kline School of Law students. Please contact Amanda Young or Jen Moore for a registration form. (Please note: there is a non-refundable $50 student registration fee. CSO will cover the registration fee but in return expects students to have a sincere interest in attending and submitting applications.)

Once you have registered, the Loyola program staff will communicate with you directly via email to the address that you entered when registering for the program. Loyola uses PIPER (12Twenty), a system similar but separate from Symplicity, as their career fair platform.

Please direct any questions about the program to the CSO’s Patent Program Liaisons, Amanda Young ay466@drexel.edu or Jen Moore jdm368@drexel.edu or stop by the CSO.

 Thanksgiving is a great excuse to connect with the people in your network and say hello. These can be former employers, college professors, former co-workers, etc. Thanksgiving is a great excuse to connect with the people in your network and say hello. These can be former employers, college professors, former co-workers, etc. It doesn’t have to be long or complicated, and it doesn’t have to contain an ask. In fact, you shouldn’t ask for anything. Sometimes the nicest message to get from a contact is simply a friendly expression of caring. Here’s an example: “Happy Thanksgiving, (INSERT FIRST NAME HERE)! I’m thinking of you and wishing you well. The first semester of law school is wrapping up and I’m preparing for final exams. It’s been a whirlwind, and I appreciate your ongoing support and all that I’ve learned from you. Thanks, and let’s keep in touch!”

Don’t overthink this, friends. Send some emails and expect nothing in return except the feeling that you connected. 😊
