The Jacobson Leadership Program in Law & Business is designed for students who aspire to a non-traditional career path that requires intensive training grounded in legal and business curricula.  This program answers to the demand for unique executive professionals with both legal and business skills to provide leadership in the fast-paced multi-jurisdictional world of enterprise.  The Leadership Program seeks to instill the highest ethical standards, and will provide the skills for leaders to build bridges across boundaries of jurisdiction, sector and culture.

Under the direction of Professors Gerald Rosenfeld and Helen Scott, the unique features of the Program include a Law and Business mentor network, and a senior project where students work independently or collaboratively in small teams and present their projects to a panel of faculty and alumni. Applicants admitted in their second year of law school will receive stipends of five thousand dollars per year for their 2L and 3L years.

Each applicant should submit a one document application including his or her resume, transcript, and an essay describing his or her interest in the program to Nirva Beljour (LeadershipProgram@nyu.edu). The deadline for all applicants  is March 9, 2015.

Loyola University Chicago School of law is hosting the 2015 Patent Law Interview Program on Thursday, July 30 and Friday, July 31 in downtown Chicago, Illinois.  Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in engineering or a technical science should consider registering for the program.  You do not need to be patent bar eligible to register, although the vast majority of employers participating in the program are seeking patent bar eligible students. For more information on the program, please refer to the Loyola Patent Program website at: http://www.luc.edu/law/career/patent_students.html.

The 2015 Patent Law Interview Program will be accepting registrations from:

• JD students graduating in May/June 2016 (rising 3Ls/current 2Ls)
• JD students graduating in May/June 2017 (rising 2Ls/current 1Ls)
• JD students graduating in December 2015/January 2016 (3Ls)
• JD students graduating in December 2016/January 2017 (2Ls)
• Students in Intellectual Property LLM programs with anticipated graduation dates in 2016 and 2017 (LLMs) Students who will graduate before the program is held in July/August 2015 and students who plan to graduate after May/June 2017 are not eligible for the 2015 Patent Law Interview Program.

Last year roughly 135 employers, 190 law schools, and 1,400 law students from across the country participated in the program. The program is entirely pre-selected, which means that students submit resumes and transcripts to bid on interviews with the employers they are interested in, and employers then review the materials of the students who bid on them and select the students they wish to interview at the program. Last year, approximately half of the participating students were selected for interviews.

Online student registration for this year’s Patent Law Interview Program is currently open and will close on Monday, March 9.  The registration page is located at: https://patentlawregistration.luc.edu/lawstudents/Default.aspx . At this stage of registration, you will only need to enter some basic information (you will upload your resume and bid on interviews later in the semester).  Please note that our school is listed alphabetically as New York University School of Law on the registration form’s drop down menu of law schools.

There is a non-refundable $35 registration fee for which you will not need to pay; NYU will be covering all registration fees for students.

*Mandatory event for 1Ls who plan to interview with EIW firms in locations outside of NYC.

Please join us at NYU Nationwide!  This is the premiere networking event for 1L students interested in law firm markets outside of New York. Attorneys from Boston, Chicago, NJ, PA, TX, the West Coast and Washington, D.C. will travel to NYU Law to meet informally with 1L students, in preparation for Early Interview Week in August. The event will take the form of a “career fair” where students mingle informally and visit attorneys at their tables. We have 25+ firms in attendance.

The purpose of this program is to educate 1L students about the opportunities in different geographic regions and to support their desire to secure employment in cities outside of New York – or their interest in exploring other regions.  This is not a resume collection event – it is a chance to make great connections in advance of EIW and learn about different legal markets.

Suggested attire is Business Casual. Delicious food and beverages will be served.

RSVP by clicking the Events tab followed by OCS/PILC Events in CSM:
https://law-nyu-csm.symplicity.com/students.

Reminder:  This event is a mandatory event for 1Ls who plan to interview with EIW firms in locations outside of NYC! This event qualifies for the mandatory EIW Career Education credit.
