Novack and Macey hosted a "Meet and Greet" breakfast for the law students enrolled in the ABA's Judicial Intern Opportunity Program.  Numerous interns attended from all over the State of Illinois.  They met and spoke with many attorneys, ranging from fourth-year associates to firmly established partners.  The program was hosted by Shelby L. Drury and Kristen Werries Collier, both Of Counsel, who talked about their career paths and gave practical tips on becoming a successful associate.

The Judicial Intern Opportunity Program is a full-time, six-week minimum, summer internship program open to all first- or second-year minority and/or financially disadvantaged law students who want to do legal research and writing for state or federal judges in participating cities.  The program seeks to provide internship opportunities for those law students who are members of traditionally underrepresented groups in the legal profession.

Novack and Macey contributes financially to the Program and is identifying opportunities for interns -- like the "Meet and Greet" breakfast -- to gain a better appreciation of private practice.
