Rocky Mountain Diversity Legal Career Fair

The 2009 fair is being held at
INVESCO Field at Mile High
Friday, September 11, 2009.

As legal employers and law students are aware, the economic climate in 2009 has changed. In an effort to continue putting students and recent graduates in contact with legal employers, we have added a new feature to the career fair this year. Employers may choose to conduct interviews for open positions or interviews that are informational only. Each employer will specify which type of interview they are conducting in their job posting. Nonetheless, we anticipate fewer employers will participate in the 2009 Rocky Mountain Diversity Legal Career Fair than in the past and there may be fewer callback interviews and offers.

Students and recent graduates will know before the Career Fair how many interviews they have, which employers have selected them, and whether the interview is for an open position or informational only. We understand that finances are tight for students; we hope that providing this information will allow each of you to make an informed decision about how to spend your time and travel budget. We encourage students to register for the career fair in 2009. As you conduct your job search, please remember that every contact you make with a legal employer is potentially valuable.

The legal profession has undergone many changes this year. Still, employers want to continue to demonstrate a commitment to diversity and prepare for any hiring needs they may have in the future. Accordingly, we have added a new feature to the Rocky Mountain Diversity Legal Career Fair. For 2009, registered employers may conduct either traditional interviews for open positions, or informational interviews. When you post your job openings on this site, please specify which type of interview you are conducting. This will permit students and recent graduates to make informed decisions about how to spend their time and travel budgets.

The Rocky Mountain Diversity Legal Career Fair provides an excellent forum for legal employers, law students and law school graduates to meet and discuss employment options with the goal of expanding opportunities and assisting the legal profession in fulfilling its commitment to diversity. Legal employers attending the RMDLCF seek to hire law students and graduates from diverse backgrounds that have been traditionally under-represented in the practice of law in the Rocky Mountain region. These include law students and graduates who are ethnic or racial minorities, disabled, and/or gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.

Law students and recent law school graduates are invited to register and attend the RMDLCF and to apply for twenty-minute scheduled interviews with participating employers.

The Rocky Mountain Diversity Legal Career Fair does not condone or support discriminatory hiring practices by an employer against any applicant or student on the basis of age, gender, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, national origin, or any other protected status.
