Dear Colleague:
We invite you to participate in our ninth annual Chicago Interview Program. The
program will be held Monday, August 17, 2009, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the Avenue Hotel
Chicago (formerly the Radisson), 160 East Huron (just off Michigan Avenue). You will select
interviewees through full prescreening of students from four highly regarded law schools.
All of our schools offer very qualified candidates. The median LSAT scores and median
undergraduate grade point averages of our students are comparable to those of students
attending the most selective national law schools. Candidates genuinely interested in living and
working in Chicago will travel to the job fair at their own expense for this event. We hope you will
join us this year to interview second and third year law students and LLM candidates.
In the past several years, 37 prominent employers have interviewed students for summer
and permanent employment. A list of past program participants is printed on the back of
this letter.
To register, please submit the enclosed registration form and a check to cover fees so
they are received by Friday, May 29, 2009. The registration fee is $395 per schedule, which
includes lunch and one interview suite beginning at 9:00 a.m., Monday, August 17. Each
interview will last 20 minutes. The registration fee will be waived for public interest and
government employers interviewing in shared space.
If you wish to receive resumes from interested students, but are unable to attend the job
fair, we will collect resumes and send them to you as a group for your review.
We are confident that you will find this program a convenient and attractive method to
meet outstanding candidates. Additional information is available about each of our schools at our
respective websites listed below. We look forward to hearing from you and to seeing you in
August.
Sincerely,
Laura Traynham - Emory University School of Law

Please Note: Employers are expected to comply with the participating law schools' policies regarding nondiscrimination in employment practices, which are reproduced on the back of this form.
Non-discrimination Policies for Participating Law Schools
Emory University School of Law is dedicated to providing equal opportunities to all
individuals regardless of race, color, religion, ethnic or national origin, gender, age, disability,
sexual orientation, veteran’s status, or any factor that is a prohibited consideration under
applicable law.
The University of North Carolina School of Law is committed to providing its students and
graduates with equal opportunity to obtain employment, without discrimination on the grounds
of race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status or
marital status. Use of CSO facilities and services is restricted to students and prospective
employers who agree to comply with this anti-discrimination policy.
Washington and Lee University School of Law opposes discrimination in employment
based on sex, age, race, religion, national origin, handicap or disability, sexual orientation or
any other legally impermissible or irrelevant ground. The facilities and services of the School
are available only to those employers whose practices are consistent with this statement, and
use of the facilities and services of the School of Law is construed as an affirmation by the
employer that it does not so discriminate in selecting employees at any stage of the
employment process. The Association of American Law Schools has taken the position that
the current employment practices of the United States Armed Services do discriminate on the
basis of sexual orientation, and has granted a limited exemption to permit Armed Services
representatives to recruit on campus due to the potential loss of funding to the University that
would result from the Solomon Amendment.
William & Mary School of Law does not discriminate unlawfully in any of its programs,
procedures or practices against any person on the basis of age, color, disability, national or
ethnic origin, political affiliation, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or veteran or marital
status. By using our facilities and services, employers signify that their practices at all stages
of the recruitment and employment process are consistent with this policy.
