DuPont is proud to announce the Twelfth Annual DuPont Legal Minority Job Fairs. For 12 years we have led the effort to attract talented law students, with an interest in increasing the number of lawyers of color represented in our law firms and primary legal service companies.
DuPont has carefully selected the participating employers as part of a program designed to foster partnering and efficiencies between client and law firm. Law firms that meet their criteria are designated as ‘Primary Law Firms’ and will assume significant responsibilities over DuPont’s complex litigation docket. Primary Law Firms are joined by other service providers to create a DuPont Network with representatives throughout the
DuPont was the winner of the National Association for Law Placement (NALP) 1999 Mark of Distinction Award. This award is presented each year by NALP to recognize individuals and organizations that advance the goals of NALP’s mission in an exemplary manner. Some of these goals are to promulgate and implement standards and procedures which will effect positive change and promote ethical conduct in such areas; and to promote diversity in the legal profession and in the membership of their organizations.
Your school has been selected as a participating law school. We urge you to consider applying for an invitation to one of our Minority Job Fairs. When you submit an application for an invitation, you are, in effect, submitting an application to all of the legal employers participating in the program. Students have the option of choosing from three job fair sites:

NOTE – The Job Fair registration is on a restricted site to pre-designated law schools only so you must use the following information provided in order to access the Registration Form. This information is not to be shared with students from other law schools. Ballad Spahr is hosting the Registration Form on their organization’s website. To access the Ballard Spahr site, log on to the Internet and type www.ballardspahr.com in the address bar.

You are requested to attach a copy of your resume and law school transcript to the electronic Registration Form. If this is not possible, you may send the information as an e-mail attachment to dupontregistration@ballardspahr.com or by mail to Rosa T. Neal, DuPont Legal Minority Job Fair Coordinator, Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP,
We realize that you may not have your current law school transcript by our registration deadline. We encourage you to send what you have now to assist participating employers in the prescreening process as you will be requested to bring an updated transcript to the interviews themselves, if you are selected. Employers will have the opportunity to review your materials (taking into account your geographic preferences) and select students to whom they would like to extend an invitation to interview with a representative from their organization at a Job Fair. If you accept an invitation you will be expected to travel to the Job Fair at your own expense. Each selected student will have private interviews with those employers that have expressed an interest in them.
Listed at the bottom of this letter are the technical specifications necessary to properly view and register through the website. If you have any difficulties entering the site, please check with your school's information technology department if you are logging in from campus, or contact the appropriate technical support line if you are logging in from a personal computer to see if your system meets the required specifications.
We very much hope that you will apply to participate in the DuPont Legal Minority Job Fair this year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at dupontregistration@ballardspahr.com, or through a representative of your Career Placement Office.
Sincerely,
Rosa T. Neal
