NNALSA Website Now Allows Members and Employers to Create a Private Login
As part of our redesign, the National NALSA website now allows members and employers to create a private login. This easy to use feature will allow National NALSA to connect and share information with students, alumni, and employers. However, since there has been a rise in hacker attacks to our website you can only create a login after you receive an invitation code.
Once NNALSA members pay their membership dues they will be sent an email with an invitation code to create a login. The login will be used to share information regarding the 2015 NNALSA Writing and Moot Court Competitions.
Employers interested in creating a login should email Aarik Robertson for the invitation code atnnalsa.liaison@gmail.com. Employers will be able to use their login to post job openings and download the NNALSA Resume Book when it becomes available.
To create your login after you receive the invitation code, visit the National NALSA website athttp://www.nationalnalsa.org and click Register in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Last day to send in resumes
Here (PDF):
Dear NNALSA Membership,
Today we are proud to announce the return of the NNALSA Resume Book!!!
Potential employers throughout Indian country will have access to this resume book.
Take this opportunity to catch the eye of a future employer in tribal or non-tribal
government, private firms or non-profits from various areas of the country.
All resumes will be due no later than September 15, 2014. Please submit your
completed resume in PDF format to nnalsa.resume@gmail.com. Resumes must be no
longer than one page. The resume book will then be sent out to all participating
prospective employers, who will then follow up for individual interviews on their own
schedules.
You must pay your annual dues for us to include your resume. Additionally, all
resumes will be screened, and any deemed inappropriate for submission (spelling and
grammatical errors, etc.) will be returned for edits.
Lastly, if you receive or accept any offers resulting from the resume book, please let
us know! We’d love to celebrate your success with you, and sharing that information
with us will help the Board in planning for next year’s career activities for our
members.
Enjoy the last part of your summer, and we look forward to another productive year
with you!
Sincerely,
NNALSA Board

Summer Clerkships
NARF is currently seeking candidates for its Summer 2015 Clerkships! Each year, NARF conducts a nation-wide search for law students to participate in its Law Clerk Program. Positions are available in all three of NARF’s offices: Anchorage, AK; Boulder, CO; and Washington, D.C.
