Field Day Fridays are an exciting program from the Colorado Law Career Development Office allowing you to spend a day “in the field” with practicing attorneys. Each week is designed to expose you to a different geographic area, a different type of practice, and/or different employers. These programs are open to all Colorado Law students, but are specifically designed with 1L schedules in mind (you weren’t going to do anything with that Friday off, were you). Each day is a terrific opportunity to start getting a sense of what practicing law will be like and to network with the people that are actually doing the work. Each of the programs requires advance registration. If you do register to attend, please keep in mind that our hosts are making plans based on the registration numbers we provide them. If you find that you are unable to attend after registering, please let Assistant Dean Fulton know as soon as possible. Please also reach out to Assistant Dean Fulton if you have any questions about the program or require accommodations.

During this spring’s first Field Day Friday, students will spend the day touring five downtown Denver law firms that regularly hire students through programs like Colorado Law’s OCI (on campus interviewing), the Colorado Pledge to Diversity, and others. We will be visiting Holland & Hart, Wheeler Trigg O’Donnell, Taft (formerly Sherman & Howard), Cooley, and Womble Bond Dickinson (formerly Lewis Roca). At each stop, you’ll meet attorneys and recruiters from each firm and learn from the people that do the legal hiring about things like networking, making your application materials stand out, Interviewing, and callbacks, offers, and how to get a job at a firm.  There will be refreshments provided at each stop and Sherman & Howard will be our hosts for lunch. There will be plenty of time to ask questions, learn about the recruiting process, and to find out what it’s like to work at a downtown Denver law firm.

The program is limited to the first 35 students to register via CDOnline.
