The annual NALP Education Conference is the single largest, most comprehensive, and most well-respected educational program in the legal careers profession. The content in the conference covers entry-level recruiting and career counseling to professional development, law student PD, public service, inclusion, coaching, associate and lateral partner hiring, and more.
The WFU Law OCPD takes pride in staying on top of current industry trends and learning about best practices as they evolve.
See you next year NALP! 🖤💛🏝️🌊
Tax law is one of the most in-demand and versatile practice areas out there. Corporate transactions, estate planning, nonprofits, international business… It goes way beyond filing season. Just saying 🤌👀

March was a big one.
Meet the Deacs: A Legal Career Expo brought students and employers together for meaningful conversations and new connections.
Throughout the month, we also welcomed professionals in cybersecurity and data privacy, along with municipal law, giving students the opportunity to explore a range of paths for their legal careers.
We are proud to support these moments and the role they play in shaping what comes next.

We know you landed something this summer. 🫵 A firm gig, a public interest role, an externship, a clerkship… please log it in Symplicity so we can make it official.
Reporting your employment is an ABA accreditation requirement that affects our school’s standing. It also helps future Deacs see what a WFU Law degree can do. It only takes two minutes and it matters. 🤌
