This Week in the Law School
Barristers' Ball tickets go on sale today at noon. Get 'em while you can. Indiana Attorney General (and Indiana Law alum) Curtis Hill, Jr. is here Wednesday in the MCR, and shortly after, Dean Parrish will share coffee and stories with you in the library. (Ask him about the phrase "go off" — it's one of those adorable Canadian colloquialisms that's been the subject of much internal debate this week!) Finally, the CSO will host InterviewPalooza on Friday. ILA might have suggested Lawlapalooza, but no one asked.

CSO InterviewPalooza
Students will have the chance to work with faculty and experienced lawyers to practice in-person interviews and/or informational interviews by phone. You will receive feedback from the interviewer immediately after the interview. Spots are still available and this is open to all law students and LLMs. Space permitting, students can do both this and in-person interviews. Please RSVP under the Events tab on CareerNet.
Informational interviewing: students will learn about a practice area in the legal profession and get a chance to practice presenting themselves on the phone. The set-up presumes that these are not cold calls, but that the attorney has already agreed to talk with you. The call will take approximately 5-10 minutes.
In-person interviewing: interviews will take approximately 20-25 minutes and will occur throughout the law school. Students are strongly encouraged to come in formal interview clothes. Where possible, we will match students with interviewers in their practice area of interest. The goal is to get you comfortable answering interview questions and talking about yourself.
CLSC Speaker Series: Amy Gonzales
Amy Gonzales, of IU's Media School, will present "The Costs of Digital Disruption: How Our Reliance on Digital Technology May Increase Social Inequalities" as part of the Center for Law, Society & Culture's spring speaker series. Henderson House, noon.
