Registered employers, as of January 7:

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.

Learn about the clinical and experiential classes at the Law School, followed by an opportunity to meet clinical professors and students.
