There will be an orientation and information session on Wednesday, October 21, from 4:00 to 5:00 PM in Vanderbilt Hall 206 regarding the International Law and Human Rights Fellowship, including its dedicated summer internships.

The International Law and Human Rights Fellowship Program is coordinated by the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice (CHRGJ) in cooperation with the Institute for International Law and Justice (IILJ) with the support of the Public Interest Law Center (PILC). Individuals who are current full-time 1L, 2L, LLM and JSD students are eligible to apply. For more information, see http://chrgj.org/opportunities/students/chrgj-international-human-rights-fellowship/.

The Fellowship has two major components: a 10-12 week summer internship in 2016 at one of more than 25 important international, regional and local organizations and a post-internship academic research paper. The list of ILHR program internship organizations is expected to include international tribunals (e.g. ICTY, ECCC, STL); UN organizations (e.g., ILC, UNHCR); international, regional and local NGOs in locations as diverse as Bangkok, Beijing, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Dhaka, Jerusalem, Johannesburg, Kampala, London, New Delhi, Ramallah and Windhoek. The ILHR Fellowship application with the list of internships will be available on October 13 on the CHRGJ website (www.chrgj.org). Applications will be due by noon on Wednesday, November 11.

The Global Fellows Forum is at the heart of the Global Fellows Program, and represents an integral component in the Hauser Global Law School Program’s “Turn to Scholarship” initiated in 2003. The primary mission of the Global Fellows Program is the production of publishable scholarship, and the Global Fellows Forum serves as an important vehicle for facilitating the achievement of that mission.

All Global Fellows, that is Global and Senior Global Research Fellows, Global and Senior Global Fellows from Practice & Government and Post-Doctoral Global Fellows, attend the Global Fellows Forum, which features presentations of research by Global Fellows to an audience of other NYU School of Law fellows, faculty and invited guests. This provides an opportunity for Global Fellows to gather, collaborate, share ideas and provide feedback in a supportive and intellectual environment.

Please see below for our Forum schedule for the 2015-16 Academic Year. Research abstracts will be available about one week prior to each Forum date.

Space may be limited, so kindly RSVP to law.globalvisitors@nyu.edu if you would like to attend.

Class of 2016 Summer Associates
In an effort to facilitate conversations about law firm summer associate programs, the OCS has created a directory of NYU 3Ls who worked at law firms this past summer. This “Class of 2016 Summer Associates” is available in the CSM Career Resources Library under the Resources Tab. You can access the students’ email addresses via the online picture book on the Law School’s website. We ask that you be respectful of the students’ time when contacting them.

Choosing the Right Law Firm for You Form
We have provided a useful assessment tool in the CSM Career Resources Library (under the Resources Tab) called “Choosing the Right Law Firm for You” to help assist students evaluate firm offers according to your goals and priorities. You MUST complete this form prior to meeting with an OCS counselor to discuss your offers; please send the form to law.careers@nyu.edu 24 hours prior to your appointment.

Appointments and Mock Interviews
Our preference would be that you attend a drop-in session before scheduling a full appointment – in many cases, more routine issues can be handled during the drop-in appointments. Counselors will refer a student for a full appointment when they assess that the matter necessitates more time.

Timely feedback regarding your EIW results is critically important to the accuracy of our counseling and our ability to assist you and others in the summer job search. By Wednesday, October 7 at 5:00 p.m., the Office of Career Services asks that you update the mandatory 2015 EIW Callback/Offer Tracker (“Tracker”) with the status of your interviews, callbacks, and offers pursuant to the deadlines below. Your input is critical as we begin to make calls to assist employers in making additional hiring decisions regarding NYU Law students (please see below regarding instructions for firms where you currently may be on hold). Moreover, this data is used for the Strike-A-Match session, which benefitted you as you prepared for EIW. We expect you to provide the same data for the class of 2018.

All responses are kept completely confidential.

Please follow these instructions:
1. Click on the CSM Surveys Tab to access the Tracker (https://law-nyu-csm.symplicity.com/students/). We have inputted the names of all the firms with whom you interviewed during EIW – please check for accuracy (especially with the firm’s geographic location). Please delete any firms with whom you did not interview, add any additional EIW firms that may be missing from your list, and update the total number of EIW interviews field. Complete all information about your callbacks and/or offers for each firm.

2. Fill in the “On-Hold” section of the Tracker if you are waiting to hear from a firm with whom you had a callback, and that firm would be your first-choice employer. By filling out this section, you give OCS express consent to discuss your candidacy with that employer. Associate Dean Irene Dorzback will be contacting firms to facilitate movement on their “hold lists.”

3. You may also include any individual comments in Question 5.

DEADLINES:
You should have completed the initial Tracker by 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 7, 2015. If you have not accepted an offer, you must update the Tracker EVERY WEDNESDAY, until you have accepted an offer. Students who have not completed or updated the Tracker cannot meet with an OCS counselor.
