How many representatives may an employer send?

Due to limited space, employers may only send up to 2 representatives.

Please send the names of the representatives to Fred Pelzer by Friday, March 7.

Is there an invoice?

Yes, invoices will be emailed to the registered point of contact. Employers can pay by credit card or check.

How many students should we expect?

We generally expect around 100 first year law students to attend this event, making it the largest networking event of the academic year.

May employers send marketing materials or promotional items?

Employers are welcome to bring or send in advance any materials that can fit on a table. Signs and table cloths, due to limited space, are not allowed. Each employer receives one small cabaret table, skirted with black tablecloth. A placard with the name of the organization will be placed on each table.

Materials can be brought on the day or sent in advance (with a completed label) to:

Fred Pelzer
Associate Director of Operations
Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law
375 E Chicago Ave, LM124
Chicago, IL 60611

All items being shipped back must include a FedEx label with account number and mailing information. We will schedule the pick-up of your items as soon as possible.

Please note that materials sent to our mail room may take an additional day to reach our office, and so we recommend sending materials as far in advance as possible.

Is there a dress code?

Students have been told to come in Business Attire; while it’s suggested employer representatives do the same, they may dress as they see fit.

Is there parking?

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide parking passes to employer representatives. However, there is some street parking available.

Additional questions?

If you have any questions or need any assistance, please contact Fred Pelzer.
