Loyola University Chicago School of law is hosting the 2010 Patent Law Interview Program on Thursday, July 29 and Friday, July 30, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois at the Embassy Suites Chicago – Downtown/Lakefront.
Each year roughly 1,500 law students register for the program, submit their resumes, and bid on interviews with the nation-wide employers that interest them. The program is entirely employer selected – which means that participating employers review the resumes submitted to them and choose the law students they are interested in interviewing at the program.
Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in engineering or a technical science should consider registering for the program.
