The 9th Annual Students for Access to Justice (SATJ) Pro Bono and Public Interest Career Fair will be held 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Feb. 19 in Kerr Lounge. The fair brings employers from government, non-profit, and military organizations from Oklahoma, Texas, and even Missouri to campus – each sharing information about their services with students. More importantly, employers attend the fair to find students to partner with them in serving the public. Several employers have collected resumes ahead of time and will be conducting interviews during the fair.
The fair provides a wonderful opportunity for students to learn about public interest law while honing their networking skills. The College of Law has a strong commitment to public service, and the Career Fair is one of many ways it encourages students to serve.
Students are encouraged to sign up for the fair through Symplicity at https://law-ou-csm.symplicity.com/students.
