The market for legal jobs is difficult right now and specializing in a particular issue, like international law, can make your job search even more frustrating. Wes Rist is the deputy executive director at the American Society of International Law (ASIL) and author of ASIL’s Careers in International Law, a practical guide to pursuing the practice of international law. He will discuss the steps that students can take while still in law school to help them stand out in the search for an international law position. Topics covered will include:

· targeted job searching,

· resume drafting,

· managing one’s professional contacts,

· identifying appropriate international experiences, and

· pursuing valuable volunteer and professional membership opportunities.

A portion of the event is dedicated for questions and answers.

Cosponsored by ASIL’s New Professionals Interest Group.

This event is a benefit of Loyola University Chicago School of Law’s

Academic Partnership with the American Society of International Law.
