Loyola University Chicago School of law is hosting the 2014 Patent Law Interview Program on Thursday, July 31 and Friday, August 1 in Chicago, Illinois. The 2014 Patent Law Interview Program will be accepting registrations from:
- JD students graduating in May/June 2015 (current 2Ls/rising 3Ls)
- JD students graduating in May/June 2016 (current 1Ls/rising 2Ls)
- JD students graduating in December 2014/January 2015 (3Ls)
- JD students graduating in December 2015/January 2016 (2Ls)
- Students in Intellectual Property LLM programs with anticipated graduation dates in 2015 and 2016
Last year roughly 125 employers, 190 law schools, and 1,700 law students from across the country participated in the program. The program is entirely pre-selected, which means that students submit resumes and transcripts to bid on interviews with the employers they are interested in, and employers then review the materials of the students who bid on them and select the students they wish to interview at the program. Last year, approximately half of the participating students were selected for interviews.
Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in engineering or a technical science should consider registering for the program. You do not need to be patent bar eligible to register, although the vast majority of employers participating in the program are seeking patent bar eligible students.
