CUB Attends the Northwest Public Service Career Fair

On Saturday, February 4th, CUB’s Business Director SA Anders and I had the pleasure of spending the morning with some of Oregon’s brightest and most enthusiastic law students at the NW Public Service Career Fair.  Each year, Lewis & Clark Law School hosts the Portland chapter of the fair, which seeks to link law students and alumni with opportunities to work with organizations that make a difference.  This career fair is unique in that, as the name suggests, it is geared toward students and alumni who have a particular interest in public service—a perfect match for CUB! 

We spoke to more than 30 law students about CUB and the regulatory and policy work that we do on a daily basis.  It was great to learn that so many of the career fair participants already knew about CUB, and we were certainly happy to tout all of CUB’s accomplishments to those who hadn’t heard about us yet.  We also loved talking to budding lawyers who have such a strong interest in the issues that are near and dear to CUB’s heart.

All in all, the Career Fair generated a lot of interest in CUB’s law clerk program, and we could not be more excited to add a new member to the team this summer.  If you are interested in applying for a summer clerkship or fall/spring externship with CUB, please visit CUB’s Law Clerkship page at http://cubpolicycenter.org/opportunities.  The February 15th application deadline for summer clerkships is fast approaching, so we encourage all who are interested to submit their materials as soon as possible!
