[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 39516, member: 2672"] Law fairs - no - tens of thousands of people attend careers fairs each year. It really doesn’t show much by saying you attended it. Sometimes people will reference conversations they have had at these events, and that can be ok if done well. Specific online events that might be on a particular topic are slightly different. Just make sure they are relevant to the firm you are applying to. Most people name drop thinking it proves something, ticks a box, or gives your application an advantage. So it’s often done in an incredibly superficial manner which just screams “I am just saying this in the hope you think it makes my application better”. You might want to read some of the posts that follow on from this post about name dropping to see what Jaysen and I think about it [URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/posts/38747/']Name dropping[/URL] [/QUOTE]
