WELCOME STUDENTS & EMPLOYERS

We’re pleased to announce that the inaugural St. Louis Diversity Job Fair was a tremendous success! Over 200 students registered for the job fair, and over 100 participated in interviews with local St. Louis legal employers. The attendees were treated to several fine speakers, including Robert Wallace and Charlie Harris. Robert Wallace, the Vice President of the St. Louis Rams addressed the attendees on Friday night at the welcome reception.
