Dining Etiquette for Interview & Business Dinners with Dr. Sharon Meit Abrahams

11/2

Open to the public

Join us for an interactive dinner with local attorneys to learn the ins and outs of dining as a lawyer.  Dr. Sharon Meit Abrahams, National Director of Professional Development/Diversity & Inclusion at Foley & Lardner, will walk students and attorneys through the proper etiquette for business dinners and the ways to avoid hazardous mistakes and common pitfalls. Rebecca Horwitz, ’13, is a third year associate at Bartlit Beck Herman Palenchar & Scott LLP and a former wine sommelier.  She will also provide insights into wine pairings and choices.  

The program will provide students with the information and the confidence to handle client, partner, and business dinners with poise while also providing an intimate opportunity to meet and dine with attorneys from the Chicago area.

Because space at this event is limited to 50 students, a $10.00 deposit will be required to confirm a student's spot.  This deposit will be returned to the student on the night of the dinner when they check-in.  Additionally, priority will be given first to students who have completed their rsvp by submitting the deposit according to their year in school. For 2Ls and 3Ls, priority will be given to students who have completed the Keystone Program in the past.  For 1Ls and LLMs, priority will be given to students who have logged points for any Keystone programs this year.

The deadline to rsvp and to submit your deposit is October 28, 2015 at 5:00 p.m.  Please rsvp at http://www.law.uchicago.edu/2015EtiquetteDinnerRSVP.

Dinner and beverages will be provided. Additionally, transportation both to and from the Law School will be provided.
