Seventh Annual SRBLSA Job Fair Student Registration Information
The Southern Region of the National Black Law Students Association (SRBLSA) is excited to invite you to participate in the Seventh Annual Southern Region Job Fair to be held from August 26-27, 2011 at Florida Coastal School of Law in beautiful and historic Jacksonville, Florida. Last year’s event brought dozens of employers and students together to discuss and interview for legal job opportunities throughout the Southern Region and we are hoping to more than triple the level of participation this year.
Jacksonville, Florida
We have gone to great lengths to solicit interested employers from law firms, corporations, governmental agencies, and public interest groups throughout the nine states within the Southern Region. Students that are not selected for interviews are welcome to attend the Networking Reception for an opportunity to mix and mingle with distinguished members of the legal community in an informal setting to gain insight and advice on how to enhance their legal employment pursuits.
