Join us on February 28, 2024 from 5:45 PM to 7:30 PM in Goldberg Room (Room 297, Law Building) for a panel about Patent and Trade Secret Litigation consisting of attorneys from Jones Day and Paul Hastings. The panelists will discuss the similarities and differences between the firms’ practices in these areas and emerging career paths.
This program is geared toward 1Ls focused on pre-OCI opportunities, and to the 2Ls and 3Ls who mentor or would like more information on these firms and their approach to associate hiring, training, and development for innovation protection practices. The program helps students understand the differences and similarities between law firms and their tech practices by comparing them side by side.
