In preparing for a small group meeting last week, I was reminded of a fantastic resource that everyone should be aware of for networking purposes. Martindale.com is a website with a powerful search function that allows you to conduct very specific searches for lawyers or law firms.
For foreign lawyers, Martindale.com can help you connect with lawyers from your home country who have managed to settle into positions in the U.S. Using the Advanced Search, simply enter the name of a law school from your home country in the "Law School" field (especially look for your own foreign law school!). Try a few different spellings or formulations if nothing comes up at first.
Start making a list of people who you are interested in meeting and try setting up some informational interviews!

The Importance of Building a Strong Reputation
By: Kandice Thorn
In the job search, we focus a great deal of attention on networking and making connections. In this context, we often mention the importance of making a good impression. But rarely do we take that a step further to talk about the importance of building your reputation.
