Change Your World
K&L Gates is taking a more green approach to law school recruiting this year. Rather than distributing abundant printed materials to law students, we are instead using an innovative micro Web site called Change Your World to deliver information about the firm.
Additionally, we are donating money previously allocated for recruiting materials. In the United States challenge, the donation is $20,000 and in the United Kingdom challenge, the donation is £10,000. Law students have the opportunity to help determine how much of our donation each charity will receive by playing the Change Your World trivia challenge.
Compete for your school; compete for personal glory; compete for a cause you believe in. While you are there, find out why you should be a part of K&L Gates.
