Compass: Career Fundamentals & the Legal Resume
OCPD kicks off our 1L Compass series with two foundational lessons: how to communicate like a lawyer and how to craft a compelling legal resume. First, be it emails to colleagues, clients, professors, or supervisors—written professional correspondence is at the heart of all lawyering. Developing a strong legal resume that builds your professional narrative will be the most important work product you’ll create this semester! Join us on Wed., Sept. 8th at 12:00 pm for this essential lesson to begin your legal professional development. Register on CareerLink.

L.I.F.T. Alumni Mentoring - Information Session for Alums
The Office of Academic Excellence will host a brief informational session about the 2021-2022 L.I.F.T. program, WCL’s alumni bar exam mentoring program. L.IF.T. (Lead, Inform, Foster, Transform) pairs alumni-mentors with student-mentees primarily based upon bar exam jurisdictions, but we will also seek to align areas of practice, professional interests, and location. Throughout the program students may seek advice on jurisdiction selection, practice, bar prep, and your experiences preparing for the bar exam. This is not a substantive tutoring role, but one of mentorship and encouragement.
Join us to talk about the time commitment and scope of the program. Interested alums are asked to apply by September 17. If you have any questions about the event or the program, please contact Meg Lee at melee@wcl.american.edu.
