Jointly Sponsor a Brown Bag Program
Careers in International Arbitration for Young Lawyers?
The International Dispute Resolution Committee of the DC Bar and the American Society of International Law jointly invite you to join us for a free brown bag lunch program -- “Careers in International Arbitration for Young Lawyers?” -- on Wednesday, September 22, 2010, at the offices of Arnold & Porter LLP, 555 12th Street, N.W., Paul Porter Room, 10th Floor, from 12:30 p.m. until 2:00 p.m.
We are often asked by law students how to begin a career in international arbitration. Representatives of a number of prominent law firms, agencies and arbitral institutions will join us for a hands-on session to offer practical answers to that question. Experienced practitioners will sit down at lunchtime with J.D. and LL.M students, using an “open mic” format for an informal Q&A session. This is not a “job fair;” participants will not make speeches or presentations about their organization's arbitration practice or prospects for entry-level positions. Instead, expect an informal room-wide conversation with interventions from many participants. Perhaps you will just want to sit and listen, or to talk quietly with colleagues and students at your table, or maybe you will pick up a microphone and make your own suggestions.
Bring your own lunch or pick it up at the A&P cafeteria before the program. Please let Camila Valenzuela ([email protected]) know if you plan to attend.

Bar International Dispute Resolution Committee, please contact Committee Chair Mark Kantor at [email protected]or on the web at http://clik.to/kantor,or Committee Co-Chairs Jean Kalicki at [email protected] or Marsha Echols at [email protected]
