West Coast International LL.M. Job Fair


West Coast International LL.M. Job Fair Registration -- open until December 3, 2013

Students currently enrolled in an LL.M. program at the University of Washington School of Law are invited to participate in the annual West Coast International LL.M. Job Fair. The Job Fair will be held on the UCLA campus on Friday, February 21, 2014.  Registration to participate in the program is now open.

Getting Started:  Review the UCLA West Coast LL.M. Job Fair webpage for general information about the program. Next, select “2014 Symplicity User Instructions for Students” for details on registration, uploading documents, and bidding for employers.  Review the “2014 West Coast LL.M. Job Fair Calendar” to note important dates and avoid missing deadlines.  Also read through the “Frequently Asked Questions--Students” for details about the process.

Register using your UW email address.  This allows coordinators of the Job Fair to more efficiently track and assist students from the UW School of Law.

Before logging on, confirm you are using the Symplicity site designed exclusively for the West Coast LL.M. Job Fair.  UCLA uses Symplicity to manage the Job Fair, but it is not the same web site used by the Center for Professional and Leadership Development to post jobs, advertise events and schedule on-campus interviews. 

Use the correct password.  Though your login (email) address will be the same for both Symplicity sites, assigned passwords will be different.  After your registration has been approved, you may change your Job Fair password to match the UW site when you log in to complete your registration.
