HNBA 2014 ANNUAL CONVENTION, “UNIDOS IN WASHINGTON: OUR STRUGGLE, OUR PROGRESS,” [STUDENT BIDDING: AUGUST 1-19, 2014]

You are invited to participate in the HNBA Career Fair, the nation’s largest career fair for Hispanic law students and legal professionals, at the HNBA Annual Convention. The event will give you access to government agencies, law firms, and leaders of industry, as well as allow you to make contacts that may lead to employment or other post- graduation professional opportunities.

About the HNBA: The HNBA is an incorporated, not-for-profit, national membership association that represents the interests of over 100,000 Hispanic attorneys, judges, law professors, legal assistants, law students, and legal professionals in the U.S. and its territories. Since 1972, the HNBA has acted as a force for positive change within the legal profession by creating opportunities for Hispanic legal professionals and by helping generations of lawyers succeed. The HNBA has also effectively advocated on issues of importance to the national Hispanic community. While we are proud of our accomplishments, we are mindful that our mission is as vital today as it was four decades ago, especially as the U.S. Hispanic population continues to grow.

The Career Fair will provide you with an unparalleled opportunity to meet and interview with some of the nation’s most respected law firms, companies, and government agencies.

The HNBA will provide both public exhibition areas and private interview space where you will have the opportunity to engage in table talk with potential employers and interview with representatives from some of our nation’s most prestigious companies, law firms, and agencies. Bidding for employers will be managed via Symplicity, a well-known, web-based Career Services Management System used to manage all aspects of the process.
