Loyola Patent Law Interview Workshop (WCL Students Only)

February 13, 2015

The Loyola Patent Law Interview Program is a two-day interview program held in Chicago each summer that brings together patent law employers and law students from across the country to interview for summer associate positions and post-graduate employment. Each year roughly 1,500 law students register for the program, submit their resumes, and bid on interviews with the nation-wide employers that interest them. The program is entirely employer selected – which means that participating employers review the resumes submitted to them and choose the law students they are interested in interviewing at the program. Roughly half of the students registered for the program are selected for interviews each year.

This video features staff, current students and alumni discussing strategies for using the Loyola Patent Law Interview Program advance patent law career seeking and nuts and bolts of applying and attending.

The 2015 Patent Law Interview Program will be held on Thursday, July 30 & Friday, July 31 at the Embassy Suites Chicago – Downtown/Lakefront at 511 N. Columbus Drive in downtown Chicago. Law Student registration for the 2015 program began February 9, 2015 and ended March 2, 2015. Unregistered participants may still attend the fair and meet employers in the hospitality suites many firms sponsor.
