Wednesday, March 6, the Program in Criminal Law & Policy Speaker Series is pleased to welcome Sheronda Jordan, Forensic Examiner Manager at the Southern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault (SACASA). She will be here to discuss Medical-Forensic Examinations and other SACASA Services.

Medical-Forensic nurses collect important evidence in sexual assault cases in a way that attempts not to re-traumatize the victim. Under the Violence Against Women Act, victims of sexual assault have the right to request a medical-forensic examination without any conditions.

This event is open to everyone, and CLE credit will be available to Arizona attorneys.

Please join the Law Library Fellows for a Lunchtime Learning Series presentation:

Here Come the Feds:  Research Tips from Federal Law Clerks and Judges

The Staff Attorney and law clerk share research tips and strategies for federal court, and the Judges talk about what makes a good law clerk in federal court.

This presentation is informative for people who are interested in practicing in federal court, being a federal law clerk, or even being a federal magistrate judge or district judge.

COFFEE, TEA & SNACKS WILL BE PROVIDED. 

Dean Nailon, Ms. Clarke, and Ms. Won will address strategies for identifying and applying to posted jobs, maximizing independent outreach to employers, and conducting effective networking in a job search. A list of Sonoran employers who have re-opened summer hiring will be available (there will be resume collects for these positions). Dean Nailon will also discuss the summer judicial externship program.

Attend either Thursday or Friday for valuable tips on continuing your summer job search.
