The Fair, which was held over the course of two days, is the largest public interest career fair in the nation. It hosted students from 21 participating law schools from New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, and 196 employers from New York, California, Hawaii, Illinois, and Texas, among other states. These employers included | government, non-profit, and private organizations.\u003Cbr>In order to be selected by an organization for interview, students submitted cover letters and resumes to the organizations of their interest through the PILC Career Fair’s website. The organizations could then select the students they were most interested in to interview. However, the Fair didn’t just provide for scheduled interviews; employers also took place in an event called “table talk.”\u003Cbr>Table talk gave students a chance to meet with organizations | they might not have otherwise considered, drop off resumes with new employers, or talk to employers that didn’t select them after reviewing their resumes. It also provided organizations an opportunity to meet with more students and to advertise their organization. Eighty-six organizations showed up on the first day for table talk, and 89 participated the second day.\u003Cbr>Student lunches were also offered at the Fair.

When confronted with the problem, the | administration, through ViceDean Barry Friedman, urged the editors to send a memo to Dean Ricky Revesz documenting the problem . “The school has to respond once there is a written\u003Cbr>record,” said Friedman.\u003Cbr>The “Smell Memo,” as it was called by the authors, urged the school to fix the problem so journals could better build community by making the journal offices a pleasant place to work and interact. The memo described the problem as “especially severe for the journalsin the center cubicle area, the | Journal of Law & Liberty and the Journal of Law & Business.”\u003Cbr>According to Paul O’Grady, Associate Director for Student Affairs, contractors took air-readings and determined the air quality was safe, though they acknowledged the strong, foul stench. Con Edison sealed off electrical conduits that supply the building’s main electrical feeds—a potential source of the odor—from the outside,\u003Cbr>See ODOR page 5 |  |\n\n\n| \u003Cbr>Law ping Progr\u003Cbr>influentia Jurist.
