Inclusion at Covington

On Campus Engagement

We have a robust on-campus engagement effort that allows us to connect with students at various law schools across the country. Through campus career services offices, we participate in a variety of programs, such as 1L networking nights and practice area panels. We also support and engage with law school student groups in meaningful ways, including speaking on panels regarding law firm life, attending job fairs and conferences, and meeting with law students in informal settings to discuss legal careers and to provide counseling on interviewing strategies.

In addition, the DC Road Show is a collective effort dating back to 1975, by several major DC law firms, to introduce Black law students to the Washington, DC market. DC law firms go “on the road” to visit law schools to meet with the law students in more informal settings and share with them the opportunities and advantages related to a career in Washington, DC. Covington Senior Counsel, Michael Baxter chairs the DC Road Show and Covington lawyers are active participants in Road Show events and panels.
