The Career Development Office is pleased to invite all three classes to attend the 4th Annual JD Pathways career conference on January 9, 2015. This day-long, conference-style event is designed to educate and inspire Colorado Law students about their career options. JD Pathways will begin at 9:00 a.m. on January 9, the Friday before spring classes begin. The developing agenda is below.

Students must RSVP through CDOnline to participate in any portion of JD Pathways. This event is only open to Colorado Law students and graduates.
Employer representatives can RSVP here.

Mock interviews will be scheduled in the CDO interview rooms and other rooms in the Wolf Law Building from 9:00 - 10:00 a.m., 12:00 - 1:00 p.m., and 3:30 - 4:30 pm. You will interview with an attorney for 20 minutes, and will receive 10 minutes of live feedback. To the extent we have cameras available, interviews will be taped so you can receive additional feedback at a later date from the CDO. To participate in a mock interview, RSVP for one of the "JD Pathways Mock Interview Sessions" in the Events section of CDOnline. All those who RSVP will be given additional information on mock interview registration.

A Strong Interest Inventory assessment will also be available from 9:00 - 9:50 a.m. The Strong Interest Inventory assessment is one of the world's most widely respected and frequently used career planning tools and this session will extend the inventory to legal and law-related careers. Participants need to complete a 20-minute, online assessment before the session. To participate in the Strong Interest Inventory assessment, email Annie Wills with your intent to participate. This will be on a first come, first served basis. This session will be capped at 10 students.
