LOYOLA PATENT LAW INTERVIEW PROGRAM [DEADLINE TO REGISTER: MAR. 27, 2023]

Last year roughly 150 employers, 190 law schools, and 1,300 law students from across the country participated in the program. The program is entirely pre-selected, which means that students submit application materials to apply to interviews with the employers they are interested in, and employers then review their materials and select the students they wish to interview at the program. Last year, approximately half of the participating students were selected for interviews.

Eligibility: The 2023 Patent Law Interview Program will be accepting registrations from:

• JD students graduating in May/June 2024 (rising 3Ls)
• JD students graduating in May/June 2025 (rising 2Ls)
• JD students graduating in December 2023/January 2024 (rising 3Ls)
• JD students graduating in December 2024/January 2025 (rising 2Ls)

• • Dual degree students should use the date that they will complete both of their degrees as their anticipated graduation date.
  • Students who will graduate before the program is held in July 2023, and students who plan to graduate after May/June 2025, are not eligible.

*Please note:

1. Students do not need to be patent bar eligible to register, however, the vast majority of participating employers are seeking patent bar eligible students.
2. Typically, the participating employers are interested in interviewing rising 2L students. In contrast, only around 25% of participating employers are interested in interviewing rising 3L students.
