New 1Ls had the chance to tour several downtown legal offices.

Students chat with Judge Diane Wood, new Chief Judge of the Seventh Circuit.

3L Stephanie Yesnik was one of the guides.

Some students met with U.S. Attorney Gary Shapiro.

Shapiro talked to the students about how his office runs.

The students were treated to great views from several downtown firms.

1Ls participate in a breakout networking exercise.

At the end of the day, they got to practice networking even more, with food.

A panel of federal judges spoke over lunch at Sidley Austin.

The day was optional, but 170 1Ls participated.

The students heard a lot of advice from attorneys and judges.

Charlotte Wager of Jenner and Block gave a presentation on networking.
