National Plaintiffs' Law Association

Another fantastic AAJ Convention in the books—this time with a record-breaking number of law students attending with the National Plaintiffs' Law Association! We are so grateful to Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger, Gibbs Law Group LLP, and Kline & Specter, PC for this fantastic event and for all of your support.

The deadline to apply for the Law Student Scholarship for the 2024 AAJ Convention has been extended to June 23! The NPLA is excited to be partnering with AAJ to bring law students interested in plaintiffs' law to this summer's AAJ Convention in Nashville, Tennessee! The Law Student Scholarship provides law students and recent law graduates with a discounted registration price and a travel stipend for the event. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet plaintiffs' attorneys from across the country, attend education and social events, and meet other law students excited about plaintiffs' law, all while experiencing the excitement of Nashville! To learn more and apply, head to https://lnkd.in/e7Djszkt. We hope to see you there!

HUGE NEWS: employer registration for the National Plaintiffs' Law Association's second ever job fair is live! https://lnkd.in/gHgPytQP The National Plaintiffs' Law Association is a community of students, alumni, and plaintiffs' attorneys passionate about increasing law student access to and awareness of opportunities in plaintiffs-side representation. Our annual job fair is a cornerstone of that mission. Created as an alternative to on-campus recruiting programs that funnel rising 2L towards large defense firms, we had more than 400 student sign-ups last year—our first ever event! This year, we want to do even more. The virtual job fair—where employers can use our digital platform to schedule and host their interviews—will run from August 5-8th, but we want this program to be valuable outside of that one week. With big law summer recruiting happening earlier and earlier, we're planning on launching our digital platform on June 17, allowing students to know their options and see a comprehensive list of plaintiffs' side employers early in their job search. Don't wait: sign up today! https://lnkd.in/gHgPytQP

Calling all 1Ls and 2Ls! You have two weeks to still apply for one of American Association for Justice’s law student scholarships. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gSXjpCVw

Congrats to all of this years Diversity Fellows at Gibbs Law Group (including our own NPLA Board Member Yusuf Albazian)! We're so excited to see more Plaintiffs' firms creating diversity fellowship programs.

Berkeley Law hosted it’s first ever plaintiff-side career fair earlier this month. Part of NPLA’s mission is to make plaintiff-side careers more accessible to law students, and we are excited to see Law Schools taking steps to make this happen!

A great article about Berkeley's first annual Plaintiff-Side Career Fair we co-hosted with the Career Development Office last week!
