Upcoming sessions of interest

[Janet Fischer]

Wolf Greenfield invites you to our Information Session:   Tuesday, 
September 26th  5:30 - 7:00  Room 1-150   If you are intrigued by the 
prospect of applying your scientific or engineering expertise to help 
companies and institutions protect their cutting edge innovations, we 
invite you to attend the Wolf Greenfield information session. 
Located here in Boston, Wolf Greenfield is a leading intellectual 
property law firm with over 60 attorneys and technology specialists ( 
tech specs ). We specialize in helping clients solve business 
problems involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs and trade 
secrets. Our practice is thriving, and we are seeking doctoral 
candidates and postdocs for our tech spec program.   Launched in 
1988, our tech spec program has been very successful. Presently 
almost two-thirds of our attorneys are graduates of the program. Our 
tech specs work days at the firm and attend law school at night   at 
the firm's expense. They interact with clients from the beginning, 
contributing their expertise and knowledge, and are important and 
visible members of many client teams.  We suspect you may be thinking 
that you never saw yourself going into law and don t want to waste 
your technical training. If so, many of our tech specs thought the 
same thing before taking a hard look at the program. And rest assured 
patent law is a highly technical field; you will need every bit of 
your technical skill to keep up with our clients. We invite you to 
take a look at the backgrounds of our tech specs and attorneys on our 
web site. You will see that most have extensive technical backgrounds 
just like yours.  Wolf Greenfield offers competitive compensation, a 
commitment to professional development, and a friendly and supportive 
team environment. We actively promote a team approach where clients, 
not egos, are the focus. Our core values include time for family, the 
ability to control our work, and a collegial environment where 
everyone is respected and valued. We are proud of the fact that for 
the forth consecutive year, we have been named one of the Boston 
Business Journal s  Best Places to Work.
