Testimonials

  • “Attending the PracticePro Conference was a highlight of my 1L year. The opportunity to learn from the PracticePro team and the panelists was invaluable and provided important advice which I will take with me into the recruiting process and beyond. Moreover, it was amazing to be able to meet so many qualified law students from all around the country and start building a professional network. Overall, this is an event that I would recommend to any law student who wants to learn from the best of the best.”

  • “PracticePro’s Southern Conference quelled many of my anxieties regarding my new summer associate position this year! We learned from a variety of speakers, each with their own impactful messages of guidance and support. I was able to ask direct questions to the panelists about what to expect and how I could improve my chances of excelling early in my career. Moreover, it was clear that this group of successful professionals truly cared about passing on their knowledge and had our best interests in mind. The amount of knowledge I gained, and the easy-flowing nature of the conversation with respectable members of the field, made it an invaluable experience that I am truly grateful for!

  • “The PracticePro Conference was great. I learned information that I could not get through the Internet or a typical networking setting. Niki and the speakers provided a detailed insight into the law firm structure and assignment expectations. The speakers have impressive careers and generously answered my individual questions.”
