I attended as a student for 2 years and as a recruiter for 2 years so I am happy to answer any Lavender Law questions you have or just generally give my opinion on LGBT employment matters to the extent it is valuable to you.

Re: Lavender Law 2016
Are the law firms only interviewing law students or are they also considering laterals?

Re: Lavender Law 2016
You'll find 99.9% of the recruiters interviewing for 2L summer associates and possibly the occasional entry level position. Trying to get a lateral through the cattle call career fair is likely to be difficult.Anonymous User wrote:Are the law firms only interviewing law students or are they also considering laterals?
However, it's a 3-day conference, with plenty of other opportunities to chat with colleagues and learn about lateral opportunities.

Re: Lavender Law 2016
Is there a general GPA cutoff in order to receive a screener/call back? Or do they apply each individual school's cut offs? I'm at a UCLA/Texas type school with a 3.0. Thanks!

Re: Lavender Law 2016
LL interviews are a cattle call. Bring copies of your resume and transcript. Following up with a writing sample gives you a reason to email those you connected strongly with. Firms will apply GPA cutoffs for callbacks after LL.Anonymous User wrote:Is there a general GPA cutoff in order to receive a screener/call back? Or do they apply each individual school's cut offs?

Re: Lavender Law 2016
There are also career counselors available on Saturday. The "worth going to" nature of the rest of the conference largely depends on your ability to (and perceived value of) network with other LGBT professionals, some of whom may be in a position to hire.Mack.Hambleton wrote:tag. is there anything worth going to employment wise outside of the career fair on Saturday?

Re: Lavender Law 2016
Anyone have a good strategy for how to tackle Lavender Law? Do we need firm specific cover letters?
