Pre-Law Information
The Law School Information Fair is Tuesday, October 23 from 11:00 to 3:00 at the ARC. 124 law schools—our biggest number ever!—will be here to share information about their schools and scholarships, meet interested students, and even give out application fee waivers. All interested students are invited. This is a great opportunity for students of all levels to practice networking skills and begin to develop a connection with the deans of admission who will ultimately read their law school applications. Information about what to wear, a list of participating schools, and other details can be found on our blog here: http://publish.illinois.edu/prelawadvising/2012/10/16/law-fair-special-edition/ No registration necessary—bring your i-card for admission!
What do law school deans really look for in applicants? Get the inside scoop as admissions deans from Saint Louis University School of Law, DePaul University College of Law, and the University of Wisconsin Law School present Inside Law School Admissions on Monday, October 22 from 6:00-7:30 in Lincoln Hall 1027. What are common errors that the deans see in applications? Which personal statements are engaging, and which make the deans lose interest? What specific qualities can a candidate highlight that are helpful in admissions—and which aspects are not as helpful as you’d think? This is a great opportunity to get an inside view of what really goes on during the admissions process. This is a must-see event for any pre-law student! No registration necessary.

JUST ADDED: Careers in Intellectual Property Law on Wednesday, November 7 from 5:00-6:00 pm in Room A of the Law Building (504 E Pennsylvania Ave). Intellectual property (IP) law is a fascinating--and expanding--area of law protecting valuable information and ideas, from Coca-Cola's formula to Apple's ipad technology. What exactly is IP law, and how can students prepare for a career in this growing field? Join us as Jolynn Caroline, Director of Career Services at the College of Law, provides an overview of intellectual property law, as well as sharing what kinds of intellectual property legal careers exist--and how to prepare for them! Students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines are especially welcome to join us, but students of all backgrounds are welcome. (Jobs exist in this field for both STEM and non-STEM majors.) No registration necessary.

Dear students and colleagues,
The Center for Translation Studies is pleased to announce that the Translation Study Abroad program (TRST 401-3 undergraduate credits; 4 graduate credits) will take place during Summer 1 2013 (May 13-27, 2013). Titled "Translation in the European Union" the program will travel to Paris, Strasbourg and Brussels for behind-the-scenes introductions to the work of translation and interpreting in key EU institutions, including the EU Commission, the EU Parliament, the Directorate General of Translation, NATO and UNESCO. Our students will be exposed to the dynamics of the geo-political environment of the European Union and will receive hands-on experiences with the translator and interpreter's role as mediator and communicator in today's European multi-lingual and multi-cultural societies. The course will be of particular interest to students in foreign languages, cultures, linguistics, political science, global studies, international studies, EU Studies, law, and business. The course is open to undergraduate and graduate students in any major. The experience can lead to internships in the EU. A little known fact is that the EU is in desperate need of qualified translators who can work INTO English from EU languages.
Estimated program cost is $2500, exclusive of air fare and personal expenses. Financial aid is available. Apply through the Study Abroad office for LAS Study Abroad Scholarships. The Center for Translation Studies will offer a limited number of travel grants. For information on those grants, please contact Prof. Elizabeth Lowe (elowe@illinois.edu).
The application deadline is March 1, 2013.
