Small to Mid-Size Firm Expo

The Small to Mid-Size Firm Expo is an annual career fair designed to connect small and mid-sized firms in San Diego with our students. This expo is a great opportunity to network with and recruit our stellar law students.

Where Top Legal Talent Meets the Heart of San Diego’s Legal Community

Small to mid-sized firms looking to grow their legal teams can connect with passionate, bright, and career-ready talent. Law students eager to launch their careers in dynamic, personalized settings where their work truly makes a difference will find the perfect opportunity at the Small to Mid-Size Firm Expo.

I had an interview with Grimm, Vranjes, Greer, Stephan & Bridgman that resulted from the Small and Mid-Sized Law Firm Expo. …  I’m happy to share I recently received a post bar offer from the firm.

The Small to Mid-Size Firm Expo isn’t your typical job fair—it’s a dynamic, connection-driven event designed to spark meaningful connections that truly matter. In a fun, approachable setting, students and employers engage in conversations, build lasting impressions, and uncover exciting opportunities together.

  3. Build lasting relationships with top-tier talent in an informal, engaging atmosphere

* Firms are not required to have an active job posting to participate in the Expo, but we notice that firms that do have active postings receive more engagement from students.
