ATLANTA – The mood at a regional job fair for law students Friday was understandably more anxious than usual. “It’s looking awful out there,” said one 3L, William D. Corriher, who is seeking a job in public interest law.
The Spring Southeast Legal Hiring Conference, held at Georgia State University’s College of Law, drew students from 13 Southeastern schools. Twelve employers attended, mainly to interview previously vetted candidates. The mix of government agencies, small firms, nonprofits and judicial circuits included NASA, the Floyd County Juvenile Court System, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the American Cancer Society and four small local firms such as Johnson & Freeman and Brogdon, Davis & Adams. Last year, 18 employers participated, including 13 small firms.
