4.1.3.3.1) How do I find summer work? (King Hall Law School)
Send out resumes to firms, government agencies, etc. that interest
you, and do so promptly (ABA regulations prohibit you from doing so
until close to the end of your first semester, so just get your resume
in order). Summer jobs for first year law students go very fast. For
more information, Contact Director of Career Services Jane Thomson
(<mailto:jthomson@ucdavis.edu >) at (916)752-6574. Of course, she
probably won't be interested in talking to you until sometime around
November of your first year.
4.1.3.3.2) What if I can't find paid work? (King Hall Law School)
Volunteer. You may also be able to find a fellowship to help you pay
your way. The King Hall Legal Foundation provides a number of grants
specifically for such purposes. One advantage of volunteering for
summer work after your first year of law school is that you will not
compromise the amount of your financial aid award during your third
year. For more information, contact the King Hall Financial Aid
Director Lu Reed Bastian (<mailto:lrbastian@ucdavis.edu >) in person
or at (916)752-6573.
4.1.3.3.3) Are there any career planning resources on the Internet? (King Hall Law School)
Yes. See Section 4.6.5 for information on career planning resources
on the Internet.
