The 1L job fair is a project conducted by the Minority Opportunities Committee of the NBA.
It is a job fair held in February of each year for minority students who are in their first year
of law school, for summer clerkships between their first and second year. In 2003, the job
fair was named in honor of Damali Booker, daughter of Cyrus and Cherie Booker, who had
participated in the job fair as a 1L, was in her 3rd year of law school and had already
accepted a position with an employer she originally met at the job fair. Damali died
unexpectedly before her graduation from law school.
