Northwest Minority Job Fair
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 24th annual Northwest Minority Job Fair.

The day will be comprised of employer interviews with law students and a luncheon, featuring a local guest speaker.
K&L Gates is committed to encouraging opportunities that promote diversity throughout the legal community. The Job Fair will provide law students an opportunity to meet legal employers and fellow law students from across the country.
If you would like to register for this year's Northwest Minority Job Fair, please return the following materials to me by April 30th:
1) Registration Form. Students will request to interview with employers, based on the understanding that those employers have current or near-future hiring needs. Many of the student participants are also from out of state and incur travel expenses to attend the Job Fair. As an employer, you have three options when registering for the Job Fair:
- A full-day of interviews (8:00 am - 4:30 pm, with a 1 hour break for lunch)
- A half-day of interviews (8:00 am - 11:30 am)
- Informational interviews
Please complete the attached registration form, based on your anticipated needs and either e-mail or mail it back to me with your registration check.
2) Registration Fee. All participating organizations, with the exception of non-profit public interest organizations, are required to submit a non-refundable $250 registration fee. Checks can be made payable to the Northwest Minority Job Fair. In addition to defraying job fair expenses, proceeds fund four $500 scholarships, awarded by the local minority bar organizations.
Please send your check (and registration form, if sent via mail) to:
