    RECRUITING AREAS

    Analytical: Analysts Work in 13 Areas of Expertise – Jobs and Internships: At the CIA, we provide finished intelligence to policymakers for decisions of national importance. Our analysts are skilled subject-matter experts who study and evaluate information from many sources. From this information, they develop useable and meaningful intelligence assessments for the highest levels of government. CIA analysts monitor and assess foreign political developments, leadership, economic issues, military threats and science and technology.

    Information Management: Jobs and Internships: IMTO's (Information Management Technical Officers) implement federal guidelines, records and knowledge management solutions including taxonomies, metadata management, electronic recordkeeping, and Archives and preservation. The incumbent will be assigned to an Office responsible for a wide variety of tasks including: requirements development and analysis; records management support; file plan development and implementation; automated categorization; and leveraging legacy data.

    IRRA's (Information Review and Release Analysts) are responsible for executing the Agency's legal information disclosure obligations under the Freedom of Information Act, the Privacy Act, and related laws and Executive Orders while simultaneously protecting national security. These officers review documents to protect CIA while releasing information no longer requiring protection; document review and release decisions to build a corporate body of declassification knowledge; facilitate the sharing of information with the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government, Intelligence partners, the media, and the general public.

    Clandestine Service: Six Specialty Areas – Jobs Only: The CIA's Clandestine Service is the front-line source of clandestine information on critical international developments, from terrorism and weapons of mass destruction to military and political issues. The mission often requires clandestine service officers to live and work overseas, making a true commitment to the Agency. This is more than just a job – it's a way of life that challenges the deepest resources of personal intelligence, self-reliance and responsibility. National Clandestine Service Officers are individuals with varied backgrounds and life experiences, professional

    ELS Speaker - Adam Abrams, TELC

    ELS Speaker Series on Tuesday, September 18th at 12:00 pm in the Eidman Jury Room featuring Adam Abrams of the Texas Environmental Law Center. Mr. Abrams will talk about climate change litigation and the public trust doctrine. Lunch will be served.

    This past summer, Mr. Abrams successfully litigated one of the first cases in the nation to use the public trust doctrine to force state action on climate change. (Angela Bonser-Lain, et al. v Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Case No. D-1-GN-11-002194). The lawsuit is part of legal action in 49 states, the District of Columbia, and against the federal government on behalf of youth to compel reductions of CO2 emissions that will counter the negative impacts of climate change. The case relies upon the long established principle of the public trust doctrine, which requires all branches of government to protect and maintain certain shared resources fundamental for human health and survival.

    The Environmental Law Society is a social and professional student organization at the Law School that coordinates and brings together environmentally-minded students for educational, volunteer, career-oriented and social events. ELS provides students with networking events, an environmental job database, and its members' various experiences in order to assist fellow members in pursuing environmental career opportunities both during and after Law School.

    Screening of MISS REPRESENTATION

    Please join us for a screening of the award-winning documentary, MISS REPRESENTATION. We will gather at 5 pm for light refreshments and the moving screening will begin promptly at 6:00.

    ABOUT THE MOVIE: Like drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, Miss Representation uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see. Directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film explores how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in influential positions in America and challenges the media’s limiting and often disparaging portrayals of women, which make it difficult for the average girl to see herself as powerful. In a society where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, the collective message that our young women and men overwhelmingly receive is that a woman’s value and power lie in her youth, beauty, and sexuality—and not in her capacity as a leader. While women have made strides in leadership over the past few decades, the United States still ranks 90th in the world for women in national legislatures, depression rates have doubled among teenage girls, and cosmetic surgery on minors has more than tripled in the last ten years. Stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with politicians, journalists, academics, and activists like Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Margaret Cho, Rosario Dawson and Gloria Steinem build momentum as Miss Representation accumulates startling facts and statistics that will leave the audience shaken and armed with a new perspective. FEATURED IN THE FILM: Caroline Heldman, PhD, Associate Professor of Political Science: Occidental College Condoleezza Rice, PhD, Former U.S. Secretary of State, Senior Fellow: Hoover Institution, Professor of Political Economy: Stanford University Dianne Feinstein, U. S. Senator, California Dolores Huerta, Activist & President, Dolores Huerta Foundation Geena Davis, Academy Award-winning Actor & Founder of See Jane Gloria Steinem, Feminist Organizer & Writer Jackson Katz, PhD, Educator, Filmmaker: Tough Guise Author, The Macho Paradox Jane Fonda, Academy Award-winning Actor & Activist Jean Kilbourne, EdD, Filmmaker: Killing Us Softly, Author & Senior Scholar: Wellesley Centers for Women Jennifer Pozner, Executive Director: Women in Media and News, Author: Reality Bites Back Katie Couric, Anchor: CBS Evening News Lisa Ling, Executive Producer & Host: OWN’s Our America M. Gigi Durham, PhD, Author: The Lolita Effect, Associate Professor of Journalism: University of Iowa Margaret Cho, Comedienne, Actor & Activist Martha Lauzen, PhD, Executive Director: Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film: San Diego State University Nancy Pelosi, U.S. Representative: California, Former Speaker of the House Pat Mitchell, President & CEO Paley Center for Media Rachel Maddow, Host: MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show Rosario Dawson, Activist & Actor: Rent, Seven Pounds …among many other incredible women and men of all walks of life!
