NW Public Service Career Fair

Connect with students, help today’s clients, and inspire tomorrow’s justice seekers. Join us on February 2nd and 3rd, 2024.

Welcome

The Northwest Consortium of Law Schools brings together ten law schools in the Northwestern and Rocky Mountain states that work together to enhance public service, employment, and professional opportunities for their students. The Consortium schools have worked together for three decades creating the annual NW Public Service Career Fair to introduce public service-minded law students to employers working to advance concepts of justice, fairness, and the well-being of the general public. The NWPSCF traditionally brings nonprofit employers, civil legal aid organizations, and government offices together with hundreds of law students.

Overview

The NW Public Service Career Fair takes place over two days in a virtual format. 

Each morning, the fair is open for Table Talks - this is a chance for students and employers to meet in a casual environment, chat about their organization, and exchange information. Typically, employers will provide a general overview of their mission and allow students to ask questions. Students will “pop” in and out of Zoom rooms to meet with various employers. Employers do not need to post a job to participate in table talks, and students do not need to apply for positions to participate (although they must pre-register for the fair). 

In the afternoon, the fair is open for Interviews - this is a chance for employers to conduct brief, 20-minute interviews that are scheduled for them in a digital format. Employers can interview up to 13 students each day of the fair.  Employers who prefer to conduct interviews outside of the fair can still use the fair as a resume collect (see below). 

Employer Registration

Employer registration has closed, but you are always welcome to contact the law schools to post positions outside of the fair. 

Student Registration

Student registration opened on Tuesday, November 21, 2023. If you would like to participate in Table Talks or Interviews at the NW Public Service Career Fair, please follow the instructions provided through your participating career services office.
