I haven't RSVP'ed, is it too late for me to come? No - we needed to get an approximate headcount for food, but we hope all interested 1Ls will join us on Friday.
Do I need to dress up? No - there is no need to wear business attire. Given that you will be meeting with attorneys with whom you may want to work at a later time, we encourage you not to wear jeans, but there is no formal dress code.
Is World of Choices a recruiting event? Will I need to bring a resume? No - while this program is designed to provide you with the opportunity to network with attorneys, it is not a formal recruiting program and it is not necessary for you to bring a resume.
Do I need to prepare anything in advance? No - there is nothing that you need to formally prepare. However, you may want to look at the list of participating attorneys (list will be posted on Hoya Headlines shortly) and come up with questions to ask the attorneys you are interested in speaking with. You may want to ask what a typical day is like for them, what classes would be helpful if you want to pursue their practice area, and if there are internships/externships you could do in school that might be helpful in pursuing a career in their area.
