Interested in corporate law or being in-house counsel? Want to network with attorneys and professionals involved in all aspects of prosecution and defense of white collar crime. Attend the 26th Annual National Institute on White Collar Crime from February 29 – March 2, 2012 at the Eden Roc Renaissance in Miami Beach.
ABA OnRamps allows law students to attend ABA conferences and have their registration fee waived in exchange for their services. This is a great way to serve the profession while learning valuable legal info not often taught in law school.
Students are not expected to attend the entire conference. Instead, you can volunteer in shifts based on your availability. When not volunteering, students are free to either attend the conference or return to campus for class, if necessary. Plus, volunteers are free to attend all conference receptions. With the number of practicing attorneys expected, this will be an exciting networking opportunity.
Duties will vary for each event. Primarily, student volunteers help prepare conference materials, aid with various registration tables, and attend panels to collect CLE registration forms. Again, outside their volunteer commitment, students are free to attend or free to leave.
Any ABA members who would like to volunteer must send their name, address, phone, email and ABA# to the Law Student Division Delegate in charge of the ABA OnRamps initiative this year-Shawn Gozarkhah. Also send Shawn the days and times you are able to volunteer. Non-ABA members may also volunteer; however, preference will be given to ABA members. Space is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
