UC Hastings Career Days

The Office of Career & Professional Development hosts a number of Career Days, which allow employers to meet with students on campus and mingle in a professional atmosphere.

Meet the Employers Reception

This annual event Spring event allows attorneys and recruiters to meet and talk with students who will participate in our Fall On-Campus Interview (OCI) program. Typically, about 200 students attend the event. This is an excellent opportunity to make an impression on students before they begin researching and bidding on Fall OCI employers during the summer.

The 2013 Meet the Employers event will be held on April 3. RSVP here. Please visit the On-Campus Interviews tab to the left for more information about OCI.

Intellectual Property Career Fair

An annual event in late January hosted by the Career Office, the UC Hastings Intellectual Property student organizations, and the UC Hastings Science & Technology Law Journal. The program has two components: a Career Panel moderated by Kate Patterson, a local IP recruiter, showcasing different areas of intellectual property practice (intellectual property litigation, patent prosecution, intellectual property transactional work); and the Career Fair, an informal table-talk and reception. This event is well attended by over 100 students and 20 to 30 employers each year. IP employers have the opportunity to send an attorney to the panel and sponsor the event, underwriting the cost of the reception. The sponsors receive acknowledgement in all the publicity surrounding the event.

One of the largest recruiting programs in the country for public interest and public sector employers; the Consortium of Northern California Law Schools and the Public Interest Clearinghouse sponsor this spring event. Last year over 100 organizations and several hundred students participated. The event features formal interviews and an informal table talk.

JD Careers

JD Careers (formerly called Creative Career Options with a JD) is an annual event in the fall. This fun, informal table talk allows students to circulate and have casual conversations with alumni who have pursued all sorts of careers outside of “big law”-- in finance, in academia, in real estate, forensic investigations, as entrepreneurs, and more. This well-attended event usually has forty UC Hastings alums participate and over one hundred students attend.
