For millennia, Indigenous peoples have used focused attention and a deep understanding of their surroundings, the behaviors of humans, birds and four legged creatures, and clear intention to track and find people and animals. \u00a0Today this practice is generally referred to as cutting sign or sign cutting.<\/p>\n
Finding your place in the many and varied workplaces available to recent law school graduates requires the same kind of focused attention, understanding and clear intention that Indigenous peoples bring to cutting sign. This program is intended to introduce you to the basic skills you will need and some of the opportunities you will have as you begin this next phase of your journey in the law.<\/p>\n
This event will help Native law students break into the legal profession and provide on-campus interview opportunities for employers.

There will also be networking opportunities with Native lawyers from around the country.<\/p>\n
