Clausen Miller Hosts Inaugural “Day in the Life” Diversity Program for Prospective Lawyers
Providing future lawyers with an exciting firsthand glimpse into law firm life and introduction to the profession, Clausen Miller’s Chicago office recently hosted their “Day in the Life” program for students from Loyola and UIC Colleges of Law on Friday, October 14.
The program, organized by Clausen’s Diversity, Inclusion and New Talent Committee, welcomed students with diverse backgrounds to watch Clausen attorneys in action, and to engage during presentations on topics ranging from business and operational considerations for law firms, to the intersection of technology and the law. President & CEO Dennis Fitzpatrick also addressed the aspiring lawyers to share his perspective on why Clausen Miller is unique among firms and why he has remained at the firm since his days as a summer intern at Clausen.
The program received universal positive feedback from the law students, with one attendee writing to express their appreciation for the opportunity:
Thanks again for taking the time to organize the program yesterday! It was such a cool and unique idea, and everyone at the firm was extremely kind, approachable, and most importantly honest. Better yet, it seemed like they really enjoyed working at the firm! Yesterday’s program certainly convinced me to apply to Clausen Miller’s summer internship program. This seems like a great place to be, and I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
Clausen Miller will host another “Day in the Life” Program for diverse law students again in the spring, and plans to expand the program to other Clausen offices in the near future.
