The Los Angeles County Bar Assn. is offering a free seminar on April 29th to deal with issues in the legal job market.

‘The L.A. Legal Market: How to Find a Job in the Midst of an Economic Downturn’ will feature speakers including Matt DeGrushe, assistant dean at USC Gould School of Law. Topics will cover the types of jobs available and firms that are hiring as well as resume and interview tips.

The program also includes a question-and-answer session followed by a networking hour, and will be hosted by the bar association at 1055 W. 7th St. on the 27th floor, in downtown Los Angeles. Registration and a free meal and reception begin at 6 p.m., and the event runs from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

‘Attorney layoffs have become an unfortunate reality these last few months, and through programs like this, barristers can support our colleagues who have been affected,’ said David Swift, Associate at Kinsella,Weitzman, Iser, Kump & Aldisert (KWIKA) and President-elect of LA County Barristers.
