BootCamp: Basic Training for Lawyers

Every September, the City Bar presents BootCamp: Basic Training for Lawyers.

This program provides recent law graduates and current law school students with career planning information and skill building. While the whole day of programs provides a great resource for your job search, we encourage everyone to attend what they can, even if it is only a session or two.

Sessions will provide career planning guidance, networking and professionalism skills, and strategies for building your personal brand and communicating effectively in the workplace. Whether you are pursuing opportunities at a law firm, government agency, public interest organization, starting your own practice, or exploring your next step, you will gain practical tools and connections to support your career.

Whether you are seeking a job at a large or small firm, government or public interest organization, hanging out your own shingle, or not sure what your next step should be, these sessions will provide information that will help you achieve success.

BootCamp: Basic Training for Lawyers will be held on September 24, 2026 | 9:00 am – 2:00 pm.
