University of Cincinnati College of Law Dean Elected to National Board

05/14/2007 - Assistant Dean Mina Jones Jefferson was elected to a two-year term (2207-2009) for the Board of Directors for the National Association for Law Placement (NALP). NALP, headquartered in Washington, D.C., includes career services professionals from virtually all of the ABA-accredited US law schools, several Canadian law schools, and recruiting administrators and attorney professional development directors for more than 1,000 legal employers.

Board of Directors members serve as the governing body of the association, formulating policies, strategic planning, and advising as necessary. Members also serve as liaisons to sections, committees, groups and task forces, and represent the membership at various NALP regional functions.

Dean Jefferson is the Director of the Center for Professional Development at the College of Law. A former hiring partner at a National Law Journal Top 250 law firm, she is one of the few law school career services professionals in the country who has been on both sides of the table. Dean Jefferson practiced commercial litigation for nine years before joining the law school and was one of the first African-American women in the region elected to the partnership of a large firm.
