2017 Spring Break Job Shadow - Ramsey County Bar Association

1. 2017 Spring Break Job Shadow - Ramsey County Bar Association

Sign up to shadow an attorney or judge in Ramsey County during spring break (March 6-10). Applications are due by Friday, February 24. When you are matched with an attorney or judge, email or call them to confirm your visit and schedule a specific meeting time. Students are responsible for their own transportation. Make sure you have directions, including parking instructions, and allow enough for driving and parking.

As a student, I understand that attorneys and judges have busy schedules and are volunteering their time. I agree to: (1) contact the attorney or judge to whom I am assigned to schedule/arrange my visit (2) meet with the attorney or judge (3) send a thank you note after my visit. In case of an emergency, I will contact the attorney or judge and reschedule my appointment. I will also contact Cheryl Dalby, executive director of the RCBA: Cheryl@ramseybar.org and call or email Sharon Goodyear in the Career & Professional Development Office - Sharon.goodyear@mitchellhamline.edu or 651-290-7508.
