"Come one, come all!"

To any CLEO alums who will be in the Chicago, IL area the afternoon of Saturday, June 12, we cordially invite you to join us for this year's Mid-Summer Professional Development Seminar & Career Fair Networking Luncheon, which will take place at the O'Hare Marriott from 12:00-2:00 pm. If you would like to attend this event, please RSVP to cleoeventrsvp@staff.abanet.org at your earliest convenience. Thanks and we hope to see you there!

We are pleased to report that the CLEO Mentoring Network (CMN) is on the threshold of reaching the "100 mentor" milestone we have been in pursuit of since first establishing the program. With that said, however, 100 mentors should only represent the "tip of the iceberg!" At present, there are still more than 65 CMN protégés in need of willing attorneys to serve as mentors. It is incumbent upon all of alumni and friends within the legal community to not let our students matriculate through school "Pro se." Please click on the link below to download the CMN e-brochure and learn about the network and signing up as a participant. We thank you in advance for your assistance!

Are you "LinkedIn" with CLEO? Do you receive any "Tweets"(Students)(Alumni) from us? Have seen us on "Facebook?" If you answered, "No," we encourage you to stay "plugged in" by using one or more of these cool networking tools!

Do We Have Your Current Contact Information???

We sometimes hear from alum and students that they don't receive any correspondence from the organization. If you're one of those individuals, chances are, we don't have your updated contact information on file. To help remedy this dilemma, our "crackerjack" IT specialist created an online form (www.cleoadmin.com/update.cfm) where you can input your current data. And if you have any exciting news you would like to share with the CLEO family please provide it in the appropriate space. Lastly, special thanks to those persons who have already taken a moment to update their info!

A rising 2L at Albany Law School in Albany, NY, Erica is a life-long resident of Jersey City, NJ who has had a passion for the law for as long as she can remember. As a differently-abled student, her long-term career goal is to be a fierce "advocate on behalf of those with physical and/or mental disabilities."

In Erica's view, CLEO represents "an opportunity for students who have not had access to the same resources/advantages as others to succeed in the legal field. CLEO helps to do away with social, economic and physical barriers, and allows students to achieve the various goals they've set out for themselves. Erica plans to take summer classes in addition to interning for a New York-based organization. We wish Erica well as she continues to pursue her dream of becoming an attorney!
