The DOCKET

Week 4 of Spring OCI begins on Tuesday, February 17! Please see below for information regarding open sign-up and free sign-up.

Open Sign-Up: Open Sign-Up on CSM will allow you to view all available interview slots for your class year during week 4 of Spring OCI. Students may do Open Sign-Up on CSM for any open slot, as long as they meet the employer’s hiring criteria. Please note that: (1) Open Sign-Up closes at 12:00 p.m. (noon) one day prior to each interview date; and (2) Open Sign-Up is conducted in real-time through CSM and is first-come, first-served.

You will not be able to cancel these interviews once you have signed-up for an interview slot. You will be expected to attend each interview for which you are scheduled and to bring all requested application materials; you may NOT cancel an interview obtained via Open Sign-Up so please be sure to carefully read the schedule details, hiring criteria, and other requirements (e.g., requested materials to bring to the interview) before signing up for an interview. “Trading” or “swapping” interviews is NOT permitted.

OPEN SIGN-UP INSTRUCTIONS

Login to CSM and select the OCI top-link.
Choose the appropriate week from the Session drop-down menu (2014-2015 Spring OCI: Week 4 (2/17/2015 – 2/20/2015)) and make sure that ‘Show All’ displays in the Employers dropdown menu, then press the Search button.
If there is a time slot available, the Interview Date (next to the Employer Name) will display as a hyperlink. To sign up for an interview via Open Sign-Up, simply click on an available Interview Date, choose a time slot, and click Signup.
If no additional interview slots are available, you will not be able to click on the Interview Date.

Please note that students who have received an offer of employment and therefore need to cancel interviews obtained through Open Sign-Up are not able to cancel the interview on their own; students must contact Cassandre Stump (cassandre.stump@nyu.edu) for assistance.

Free Sign-Up: Students may manually sign up with employers with open slots beginning at 9:00 a.m. on the day of the interview (for Tuesday interviews) and at 5:00 p.m. on the day prior to the employer’s visit on campus (for Wednesday or Thursday interviews). Students may manually sign up with employers with open slots on their schedule for their class year, as long as they meet the employer’s hiring criteria (accessible via the employer’s interview schedule on CSM). To determine interview availability, please go to the Interview Suite on the Fourth Floor of Furman Hall and look at the employers’ schedules. You may write your name in an available time slot and slip a copy of your resume under the door for the interviewer’s review.

Please email Cassandre Stump at cassandre.stump@nyu.edu or Jennifer Leibowitz at jennifer.leibowitz@nyu.edu with any questions regarding Spring OCI.

Please note that information regarding interview availability during Spring OCI was up to date as of OCS’ submission to The Docket. For the most up to date information, please check CSM and the employers’ schedules in the Interview Suite in Furman Hall.

CHRGJ is currently accepting applications for its full-time summer internship program, which will run from June 1 to August 7, 2015. Interns will work under the guidance of one or more of the Center’s human rights staff on activities related to the Center’s current projects. This summer’s primary focus will be economic, social, and cultural rights. In particular, the Center is engaged in research and advocacy concerning inequality, fiscal policy, and human rights, the impact of international financial institutions on human rights, and the human rights implications of gold mining in Haiti, Ghana, and other countries. The work will include legal research, writing, and advocacy support. Interns will be expected to work well independently and as a team, and will be encouraged to engage with CHRGJ staff and visiting scholars as active colleagues.

Throughout the summer, interns will be provided with several educational opportunities and orientation sessions aimed at expanding their knowledge of human rights law, scholarship, and practice, and familiarizing them with human rights research tools available at NYU’s Law Library. They also will be exposed to the work of a wide array of human rights experts through the Center’s ongoing visiting lecturer series, which aims to highlight the breadth of opportunities in the field of human rights law. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking to enhance their knowledge of human rights law and practice and/or to pursue a career in public interest and social justice.

To apply: Send your current CV, a cover letter, three references, current academic transcript, and a writing sample to Audrey Watne with the subject: 2015 Summer Legal Internship. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis and must be received by COB February 27th, 2014. The internship is open to all law students, including LLMs. As this is an unpaid internship, candidates are encouraged to seek funding from their Public Interest Law Centers and other sources.

Preferred skills:

Excellent analytical and communication skills, especially in legal research and writing;
Excellent academic record;
Fluency in another language—particularly French, Haitian Kreyol, and/or Spanish;
Work experience prior to law school;
A demonstrated commitment to human rights and social justice;
