Please join the Career Services Department for Matt Wilson's presentation in room 550.
 
Matt is the Associate Dean and General Counsel for Temple University's Tokyo campus.  He has over 17 years professional and legal experience dealing with matters involving Asia.  Prior to law school, he worked in Japan for Sony and Yokogawa Electric. During law school, Matt interned for an international law firm on Saipan in the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (Western Pacific).  After law school, Matt accepted a position with Akerman Senterfitt (Orlando office), where he handled a variety of international lawsuits involving intellectual property and commercial matters, cross-border transactions, and multinational clients.
 
Matt only visits the US every few years, so this could be your only opportunity to hear his presentation!
 
Matt's presentation will cover:
  • Opening the door: things that a law student can do during law school to get involved in transnational or international legal matters.
  • Studying Abroad: The value of study abroad programs during law school, and the value he received from studying in Japan during law school.
  • Where the jobs are: conventional and unique international career opportunities for law students domestically in the U.S., Florida, overseas, and on tropical islands.
  • Job searching tips: how a U.S. educated law student can go about finding an internationally related legal job either domestically or overseas.
  • Practical Application: How international experiences translate into networking, client development, and career opportunities in the U.S.
