Do you use the law school's career service web site? If not, why not? If so, please describe what is most useful and what should be improved.

If you are a 2L, please describe what was most useful to you as a 1L.

If you are a 3L, please describe what was most useful to you as a 1L and as a 2L.

Would you help plan a program? Serve as a resource to other students? (i.e. be on a panel, allow your resumé/cover letter to be circulated as an example, etc.)

UDC Email Jobs Bulletin: OCS emails a jobs bulletin frequently throughout the year. If you are a 2 or 3L, is this useful? How could OCS improve it?

Please describe anything else you feel the OCS needs to know.
