CONFERENCE LAW SCHOOL REGISTRATION AND FEES MPILCC is fully funded by the law schools in order to make the conference free (save for transportation) to students and employers. Law Schools must be registered for MPILCC in order for their students to participate. You must register by December 7, 2007 to: Donna Miller, Esq. A non-refundable $275.00 school registration fee helps MPILCC cover its conference costs which include, Symplicity access, printing & duplicating, mailings, and other administrative expenses. Also, an additional fee, scaled to the number of students registered for the conference is invoiced to each school after the Conference, as necessary. The additional cost is as follows:

However, the registration process will be administered by the registering law school. Students cannot register directly on the MPILCC Symplicity site for the Conference. Instead, they must register their interest in attending the Conference with their school's Office of Career Services. Using an Excel spreadsheet, schools must provide the following information (in this order) for each student who is registering:
E-mail accuracy is a very important. If a student's e-mail address is incorrect, that person will not receive privileges on the MPILCC Symplicity site. If a student changes his/her e-mail address, please notify Paul Woo (see below) and inform him of the e-mail address change. The student login ID will actually be his/her e-mail address (hence, the importance of accurate e-mail addresses). A reminder - remove the e-mail hyperlink for each student from the excel cell before you send it. Tell us whether the student participated in last year's MPILCC Conference. In order to keep the MPILCC student database accurate, we need to eliminate duplicate student accounts. You simply should ask each student to tell you whether they registered for the Conference last year (even if they did not submit a resume or attend the actual conference) when you announce the upcoming MPILCC conference. We recommend that law schools add and identify an administrator's name on the student registration spreadsheet (asterisk the last name). Your administrator will then be able to see procedural informational and announcements sent to all students via e-mail. She will also get a login and password, so your school may view the employer bidding screen and see which employers are coming. The Symplicity login and password does not give the contact administrative privileges, but it is a means of staying in touch with what your students are doing. SYMPLICITY STUDENT LOGINS AND PASSWORDS Each registered student will be given a login and password to their own MPILCC Symplicity account. Student procedures related to securing an interview: resume uploads, employer bidding, viewing schedule assignments, and alternate fill-ins will be handled on-line. Similarly, procedures for searching and responding to job postings will also be handled electronically via Symplicity. USING SYMPLICITY More information about how to use the Symplicity CSM system will be sent to registered students and administrators when they receive their login and password. We are confident that you and your students will find the Symplicity CSM system to be very user-friendly MPILCC 2008 CALENDAR OF IMPORTANT SCHOOL DATES AND DEADLINES (times are C.S.T.)
