ABA Volunteer Opportunity in Health Care

Attention all Law Students: Interested in health care law? Want to network with attorneys in the field?

ABA OnRamps allows law students to attend ABA conferences and have their registration fee waived in exchange for their services. This is a great way to serve the profession while learning valuable legal info not often taught in law school.

With the number of practicing attorneys expected, this will be an exciting networking opportunity.

Duties will vary for each event. Primarily, student volunteers help prepare conference materials, aid with various registration tables, and attend panels to collect CLE registration forms. Again, outside their volunteer commitment, students are free to attend or free to leave.

Any ABA members who would like to volunteer needs to send an email to Richard A. Manhattan at richard.manhattan@students.law.unlv.edu with your name, address, phone, email, ABA# and the days and times you are able to volunteer.

From the ABA: Eight Tips on Getting Your First Job After Law School

Experts in tort, trial and insurance law shared their secrets of career success during the program, "I'm Getting My J.D. Now What? A Forum on How to Get Your First Job," at the ABA Midyear Meeting in Atlanta. Panelists offered law school students tips on landing their first job in this tough and competitive legal market. They emphasized to law students that setting themselves apart from other applicants is key.

The panel consisted of Jim Myrick, head of litigation for Buist, Moore, Smythe, McGee, P.A., in Charleston, S.C.; Marlo Orlin Leach, Atlanta-based litigator; Christopher Shelton, law student; Robert Caldwell, business attorney at Kolesar & Leatham in Las Vegas; and Vanessa Williams, vice president and deputy general counsel at R. L. Polk & Co in Michigan.

The following are eight tips given by panelists:

Networking: All panelists stressed the importance of networking--not just when starting a legal career, but all throughout it. Leach urged law students to begin networking now, noting that "it starts in law school and ends when you retire." Williams emphasized that networking will "help your career progress because of connections you make."

Get involved: Caldwell said that being involved in the organized bar or other activities pertaining to the law sets a candidate apart because it "shows a deep commitment to your profession," something he says he values in the job applicants he hires. He also stressed that also being involved in community activities can lead to new business.

Be yourself: Myrick said, "You be you... everyone else is taken," urging students to be original in their approach to applying and interviewing for jobs. If you don't, he continued, "you have nothing new to offer."

Be courteous: Myrick stated that it is important to always be courteous, because ultimately, landing a job is "all about human relationships." By treating people well, you can build a good reputation, bring in clients and ultimately, bring in money.

Tailor your cover letter and resume: All panelists urged applicants to have professional looking cover letters and resumes and to pay attention to detail. Williams said that, "you'll want to blow them away." She explained that "by setting yourself apart and showing what unique things you have to offer, you can get the interview." Panelists also advised students to focus on relevant information.

Select an appropriate writing sample: Caldwell urged applicants to choose writing samples that are appropriate for the firm to which they are applying. Also, applicants should stay within the requested page limit and make sure their sample is truly their work.
Do your research: Panelists advised students to research the firms that call them for job interviews, and to think about "interesting and knowledgeable" questions to ask interviewers.

Send thank you cards: Caldwell expressed that sending handwritten thank you cards after an interview sets applicants apart from the competition. He said it is something rarely done and is appreciated.

The James E. Beckley Writing Competition in Securities Arbitration and Law

Sponsored by Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association ("PIABA"), the James E. Beckley Student Writing Competition is a writing contest for law students interested in Securities Arbitration and Securities Law. First Prize is $1000, Second Prize is $750, and Third Prize is $500. The PIABA Bar Journal Board-of-Editors publish the first place paper and may, at their option, elect to print additional submissions. Winners will be announced at the PIABA Annual Meeting and posted on the PIABA Website Student Section.

Topic. The submission may address any aspect of Securities law; Securities arbitration; The Federal Arbitration Act, Title 9, US Code, Section 1-14; or FINRA Code of Arbitration, effective April 16, 2007 and any changes or proposed changes to that Code. The writing can be based in theory or practice, but should ultimately advocate a position on the topic area chosen.

Eligibility. The competition is open to all students who attend a law school in the United States. Full-time students who are not law students but who write law-related papers as part of a course at an American law school are also eligible. Employees of PIABA (except for students working less than 20 hours per week) are not eligible to enter the competition.

Authorship. The author must have performed all the key tasks of researching, writing, and revising the paper for himself or herself, but may have received a reasonable amount of advice from academicians or practitioners. Except for any discussions or other activities that occur as part of course activities approved by the student's professor, the author must avoid collaboration with other students. If the paper is written as an assignment in a legal writing class and if the student was assigned to produce the paper along with a partner, the student may submit the paper but must identify the portions for which the student was the sole author. Only those parts of the paper will be evaluated. Under no other circumstances may any of the written product be produced by another.

Criteria and Judging. All entries will be judged anonymously by the PIABA Competition Judges, who will select the winning submission(s). The PIABA Executive Director will notify the award winner(s). The Judges reserve the right not to award any prizes if it is determined that no entries are of sufficient quality to merit selection that year.

Entries will be judged based on the following criteria: quality of research and authority provided; accuracy and clarity of the analysis; compliance with legal writing standards and technical quality of writing, including organization, grammar, syntax and form.

Purposes of the James E. Beckley Securities Arbitration and Law Writing Competition. The purposes of the competition are to promote greater interest in and understanding of the fields of securities arbitration and securities law and to encourage excellent legal writing skills in law students.

Format. Submissions should be on one of the topics listed above. The text of a submission must be double-spaced, with twelve-point font and one-inch margins. Any Question(s) Presented section, the Statement of the Facts / Statement of the Law section, the Argument section, and/or the Conclusion together are limited to 35 pages. If the submission covers both a topic among those listed above and a topic not listed above, only the topic listed above will be evaluated. Submissions will not be penalized for arguing a position that would limit investor rights rather than expand them.

To Enter. Submit entries electronically to rsringo@piaba.org with the subject heading, "2011 Writing Competition". Entries must be received via e-mail no later than midnight October 3, 2011 and shall include the required entry form. The contestant's name and other identifying markings such as school name are not to be on any copy of the submitted entry. The PIABA Executive Director will assign a random number to each entry and will record this number on all copies of each submission. Neither the contestant's identity nor his or her academic institution will be known to any PIABA Competition Judge. Each entrant may submit only one entry.

Submission Deadline. October 3, 2011. The first place winner is invited to accept the James E. Beckley Writing Competition in-person (expenses paid by the PIABA Investors Foundation) during the President's Dinner at the PIABA Annual Meeting on October 28, 2011. 2nd - 3rd places, and Honorable Mention(s) are announced at that time as well.

About James E. Beckley. James E. Beckley - a passionate securities arbitration activist and an accomplished scholar - was well known for defending and promoting the rights of public investors.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Fall 2011 Law Student Observer Program

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

Fall 2011 Law Student Observer Program

Applications accepted on a rolling basis from January 24 to April 25, 2011

The SEC's Law Student Observer Program provides exposure to the workings of the Commission and to the regulation of securities and securities markets. The one-semester volunteer program is open to first-, second-, or third-year law students, or JD/MBA students and LL.M. students selected by representatives of the SEC. Participants are assigned to one of the Divisions or Offices of the SEC at its headquarters in Washington, D.C., or one of its Regional or District Offices Nationwide. In addition to working 15-20 hours a week (local students) or 40-hour weeks (out-of-state students), the students attend seminars as described below. In selecting students, preference will be given to students with excellent academic backgrounds and with courses in corporate and securities law. You may arrange academic credit for this program if offered by your law school.

Student observers are assigned to work with SEC staff members on projects covering a broad range of the Commission's work. Projects in the past have included the investigation of industry and issuer practices, litigation of civil enforcement actions and the drafting of proposed statutes and rules. Students are expected to establish a working schedule with their supervisors.

Observers participate in a seminar program conducted by the Commission's senior staff and including prominent members of the private bar. The topics for discussion at these seminars are generally chosen to complement rather than duplicate the materials covered in the basic securities regulation courses offered at the participating law schools.

Although students are not employees of the SEC, they are required to abide by the rules of the Commission's Conduct Regulations pertaining to, among other things, securities transactions, conflicts of interest and the confidential nature of information obtained in their work at the SEC. All offers will be contingent on the students disclosing any affiliations outside the classroom that they will have during their internship (including jobs, research assistantships, and other internships) and on a review of the disclosures. For example, it is highly unlikely that a student would be permitted to participate in the intern program at the same time she or he works for an entity regulated by the Commission or for a law or accounting firm that has a securities practice. Students who think their situation may cause a conflict are encouraged to describe their affiliation in their cover letter to avoid any last-minute issues.

To apply, students should submit:

A cover letter
Resume
Five- to ten-page legal writing sample
Current courses
Transcript (law school or for first year students, undergraduate)

For positions in Washington, DC:

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Attention: Candyce Pare, Student Observer Program 100 F Street, NE Washington, DC 20549-5631

E-mail: PareC@sec.gov

Fax: 202-772-9235

For positions in regional and district offices, send applications directly to the office in which you are interested, Attn: Law Student School Year Internship Coordinator.

Government-wide changes to the security process have extended the time that the Commission needs to process security clearances. Clearances for students who are not U.S. citizens have taken as long as four months. Accordingly those students are encouraged to apply as early as the first weeks of the application window. All early applicants will have the advantage of early consideration and of an earlier clearance if they are accepted. There are no guarantees that slots will remain available for applications submitted in the final weeks. Students are encouraged to scan their application packet and e-mail it to Candyce Pare at PareC@sec.gov.

For positions in Washington DC, applications for the Fall 2011 program will be accepted on a rolling basis from January 24, 2011 to April 25, 2011. Early applications, particularly by April 4, 2011, are recommended. Early applicants may receive preference.

The California Western School of Law in San Diego is Offering the Chile Summer Program for 2011

The California Western School of Law in San Diego is pleased to offer the Chile Summer Program ("CSP") for 2011. All students of the Human Rights Clinic will be particularly interested in the CSP because of the international focus, coupled with classes such as Intro to Latin American Legal Culture, International Environmental Law, International Trafficking in Humans, and Free Trade and Fair Trade in the Americas. Participation is welcome to law students of any ABA approved law school. Registration is limited, so we want to be sure to get the word out as quickly as possible to give every student the best opportunity to be admitted.

The Chile Summer Program places students in the heart of Latin America's quest for justice and the struggle over globalization. Whether it is human rights litigation, legal reforms, or economic development, Chile has long been a leader in Latin America. In Santiago, a city of more than six million people, students will experience the reform process first-hand with leaders from the legal sector, including human rights advocates, senior police officials, and Supreme Court judges. Workshops and site visits will introduce students to new trends in social justice and the role that expanding free trade has played in Latin America. Courses in international and comparative law, taught by U.S. law professors and leading Chilean scholars and practitioners, will provide frameworks for understanding the globalization of law and legal practice - in the laboratory that Santiago and its environs provide. Excellent ski resorts, thermal baths, wineries, coastal getaways, and top-end hiking are within a ninety-minute drive from Santiago.

The Chile Summer Program is divided into two sessions - the first features two short intensive courses and the second is comprised of another two short intensive courses that reflect the region's legal culture and explore the challenges that come with globalization. The faculty from the four members of the Consortium for Innovative Legal Education (www.cile.edu) are involved as instructors, supplemented by local law professors, lawyers and judges who provide occasional lectures. There will also be several trips as well as extra-curricular activities that take advantage of Chile's natural beauty and proximity to winter sport activities. Non-program optional trips to countries in the region may also be organized.

The Brennan Center for Justice Seeking Counsel for Democracy Program

The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law is a non-partisan public policy and law institute that focuses on the fundamental issues of democracy and justice. Our work ranges from voting rights to campaign finance reform, from racial justice in criminal law to presidential power in the fight against terrorism. A singular institution - part think tank, part public interest law firm, part advocacy group - the Brennan Center combines scholarship, legislative and legal advocacy, and communications to win meaningful, measurable change in the public sector.

Position: The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is seeking three attorneys to work in the Brennan Center's Democracy Program. The Program seeks to bring the ideal of representative self-government closer to reality, by eliminating barriers to full and equal political participation and by striving to ensure that public policy and institutions represent and reflect the diverse voices and interests that make for a rich and energetic democracy.

These positions may focus on voting rights and election reform (including practices likely to suppress the vote and have a disproportionate impact on communities of color); money in politics, including managing current constitutional litigation defending state and federal campaign finance reforms; integrity of the judicial system; and/or redistricting. Ideally, the positions will commence in June 2011 or soon afterward.

Qualifications: The Center is looking to hire three attorneys, with experience ranging from two years of legal experience and up. For one position, they prefer a candidate with six or more years of litigation experience. The ideal candidates will have a J.D.; several years of legal experience (including clerkships, if any) in the private sector, government, academia or policy advocacy; and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. Excellent writing skills (for a variety of audiences, including legal, legislative, journalistic and public), as well as excellent analytic, strategic and research skills; creativity, versatility, and flexibility; organizational skills; and the ability to deal with diverse clients and allies and to coordinate work effectively with other entities will be required. Demonstrated commitment to the public interest field a real plus.

Salary: Commensurate with experience. Excellent benefits package.

Applications: Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, and decisions will be made as soon as appropriate candidates are identified. To apply, visit http://brennancenter.theresumator.com/apply/u0zDNq/Counsel-Democracy-Program.html?source=staff. Please upload (where it says "attach resume") as one document the following application materials: cover letter, resume, two writing samples (up to 10 pages each), and contact information for three references. If you have difficulty with the online system, you may send your application by e-mail to: brennancenterjobs@nyu.edu with "Democracy Attorney" in the subject line, after registering in the online system.
