Information for Registered Applicants

Thank you for registering for the fourth annual Public Defenders Career Fair on October 29, 2021 from 1:00-5:00 p.m. hosted by the University at Buffalo Schoo of Law.

We are looking forward to hosting you and connecting you with employers.

Time: The Public Defenders Career Fair will be open to applicants from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Career Fair Space: The career fair will be set up online using a Zoom room for each employer.  There will also be a large common room for participants to gather, chat and ask questions.  On the day of the event, you will be directed to the event page where links to all the “tables” will be open and available.  

Private Conversation Space: Each employer will be able to host individuals for private conversations using Zoom’s breakout rooms.  Employers may create a waiting list for interviews on the day of the career fair or contact candidates in advance to arrange times.

Employer Information Released in Advance: The Career Fair web page will be updated weekly with an updated list of participating employers.  Check back often for an up-to-date list.

Applicant Information: All participating employers will receive a list of all applicants, including links to their resumes 7 days before the event with an update a few days before the event.  This event does not arrange scheduled interviews in advance, but employers may choose to reach out to candidates to encourage them to visit their rooms during the event.

If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Patterson, Vice Dean for Career Services, University at Buffalo School of Law, lpatter@buffalo.edu, 716-645-2056.
