If you have ties to, or plan to work in the geographic location(s) of the following events, you are encouraged to attend one or more of these events. Even if home is Georgia but you want to practice in DC, consider going to the Georgia firm’s reception—you never know who you will meet. Plus, it’s great practice!
Be sure to dress to impress! When attending any formal party or reception, professional attire is highly recommended.
