The Public Service Career Fair will be held January 31-February 1, 2013 in Austin, TX. Hosted by The University of Texas School of Law, this fair is the largest public service job fair for law students in Texas. During both days of the fair, public interest and government employers will conduct interviews for paid and unpaid summer and permanent positions. Employers may request to interview 1Ls, 2Ls, 3Ls, domestic and foreign-trained LL.M.s, and recent graduates (up to one year after graduation) from all nine participating Texas law schools. Also, employers may choose to host informational tables.
Interviews will be conducted on Thursday, January 31, and Friday, February 1, 2013 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Employers may choose to participate in one or both interview days. In addition, on Thursday, January 31, employers can also host informational tables in the Law School's Susman Godfrey Atrium from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Students will apply and submit all application materials online. In addition, employers will be able to view application materials and select interviewees online.
On Friday, February 1, Heather Jarvis will be speaking about Public Service Loan Forgiveness for Public Sector Practitioners during lunch from noon-1:15 p.m. A former capital defense attorney with law school debt, Heather Jarvis now dedicates her expertise to helping student loan borrowers make better decisions so that higher education can be a reality for all - not just those who can afford it. Specializing in training for high-debt borrowers and the people who love them, Heather has provided guidance and information to thousands of students and recent graduates.
