The Law Library’s Interlibrary Loan Service will be unavailable Wednesday, June 24 due to system maintenance. We appreciate your understanding during this service disruption.

Spring 2015 course evaluations are now available. They can be accessed at http://www.law.nyu.edu/academicservices/courseandfacultyevaluations.

Friday, July 17 at 12:00 p.m. is the deadline for students to complete their summer employer evaluation on CSM. You will not be able to view your preliminary EIW schedule until your evaluation has been submitted.

Each year OCS gathers statistical information on your summer job search and compiles this information for use by next year’s class. Those of you who used prior years’ employer evaluations or who may have benefited from the counseling advice derived from them know how helpful this information can be in your own job search. We are now asking you for a candid account of your summer experience despite the fact that it may still be in progress. This information is for the exclusive use of NYU law students – employers do NOT have access to this information. You will have the option of maintaining anonymity and may also opt to not make your evaluation available to other students.

1. Go to the CSM homepage at https://law-nyu-csm.symplicity.com/students
2. Upon successfully logging in, move your cursor to the My Profile top link and click on Evaluations
3. Click Add New (under My Evaluations)
4. Complete the Summer Employer Evaluation and click Submit
5. Please note that if you split your summer between two positions, you will need to fill out two forms

If you have read this, you qualify for the Reading Reward. This week’s prize will be a pair of movie tickets. To enter the raffle, send an email to law.careers@nyu.edu with the subject line “Reading Reward” by 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 30.

We have received from The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation five fellowships of $5,000 each for the 2015–16 academic year. Third year students currently enrolled are eligible to apply.

Bradley Student Fellowships are designed to support Bradley’s own academic mission. That mission rests on the presupposition that responsible self-government depends not only on intelligent laws, but also the creation of a civic environment that encourages enlightened citizens to participate in a discussion of controversial issues. Consistent with these ideals, the Foundation hopes that student fellows will work and study in areas that explore the role of limited government in a legal regime that fosters a dynamic marketplace for economic, intellectual, and cultural activity, both in the United States and abroad.

There are no specific papers or course requirements for the receipt of this award. At the end of the academic year, the committee wishes to receive a short statement which summarizes the way in which a recipient’s studies and activities at the Law School during the 2015–16 academic year have worked to advance the academic objectives of the Bradley Fellowship program.

Interested students should submit a resume and a one-page statement indicating their interest in the mission of the Bradley Foundation. Please send your submissions to Professor Epstein at richard.epstein@nyu.edu with a copy to Eva Dorrough at eva.dorrough@nyu.edu no later than August 1, 2015.

Please contact Eva Dorrough at eva.dorrough@nyu.edu with any questions.

All rising 2Ls and 3Ls are invited to apply to be a Lawyering TA for the upcoming Academic Year.

Any interested students should apply through this link: https://its.law.nyu.edu/lawyeringTASignup/index.cfm?fuseaction=student.main

Remember to apply to each faculty member individually. Each application should include the cover form which you download from a link on the landing page, a cover letter, resume, and writing sample.

Applications will be accepted until July 17^th.

Lawyering TAs receive one credit per semester and should be able to attend a minimum of 1/3 of the classes.

Contact Krista Minteer-Baysal at krista.minteer@nyu.edu with any questions.

The call of papers and the registration are now open!

See you in soon in Örebro, Sweden!

In exceptional circumstances, when a student who has elected to pursue a Professional Pathway is unable to take an adjunct-taught course within the Pathway because it is not exempt from the adjunct cap and the student would thereby exceed the adjunct cap, the Vice Dean, after consulting with and obtaining the agreement of the relevant Pathways Advisor, can waive the adjunct cap for that student for that course, provided that no more than 4 additional credit counting towards the J.D. degree may be added in this way.

All petitions requesting to waive the adjunct cap should be sent to the Office of Academic Services (law.acadervices@nyu.edu). That office will forward the petition to the Vice Dean for consideration. The petition should include:

1) The professional pathway you are pursuing (please see http://www.law.nyu.edu/academics/professionalpathways).
2) The courses you have already taken in this area.
3) The courses you plan on taking in this area that will take cause you to exceed the adjunct credit limit.
4) Your career plans in this area.

The Degree Audit program is available via Albert and will assist you with counting adjunct credits, determining what requirements have been completed and/or remain to be completed. We are still, however, working with the University as Degree Audit does not accurately reflect the number of non-law credits that count towards the JD degree. You must check your transcript for the correct credit allocation for non-law classes. As updates are made to Degree Audit we will keep you apprised.

See the instructions on how to generate a Degree Audit report and obtain other important Degree Audit information here.

Finally, please keep in mind that Degree Audit will be approximately two hours behind the release of ABRA results. So, if ABRA results are released at 1:30pm, Degree Audit may not contain the most accurate information until 3:30 pm that day.

Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison LLP (New York, NY – Corporate Department) has decided not to interview 3Ls at NYU’s EIW 2015. However, please note the firm plans on posting a 3L corporate job listing on Symplicity shortly, so students should apply online.

Schiff Hardin LLP will no longer be participating in EIW 2015 and will be posting a job listing on CSM instead.

Dechert LLP (London, UNITED KINGDOM) will no longer be participating in EIW 2015. Students who are interested in Dechert’s London office may apply directly but please note that at this time it is not certain what the London office’s hiring needs will be for next summer.

If you opt-in and receive an interview through the waitlist lottery, you are responsible for attending that interview. Interviews assigned through the waitlist lottery may not be cancelled.

*****Please note that 3Ls may opt to drop one or more of their EIW interviews after the Drop Deadline date (August 5) if a permanent offer of employment is received.  3Ls who opt to drop one or more interviews after the August 5 deadline may not cancel via CSM; rather, they must send an email to cassandre.stump@nyu.edu at least 48 hours before the scheduled interview with an explanation of the circumstances requiring such cancellation.

 
For specific information regarding how to cancel interviews and opt-in to confirm your waitlist status, please refer to pages 12-13 of your OCS: Fall Interview Season Handbook – 2015 (which is available in the CSM Resources/Tools tab).  If you still have questions after checking the Student Handbook, please email Cassandre Stump at cassandre.stump@nyu.edu or Jennifer Leibowitz at jennifer.leibowitz@nyu.edu.
