The 1L Diversity Career Fair will showcase legal employers that are sponsoring a 1L diversity fellowship, internship, or summer associate program (“1L Diversity Opportunity”) for summer 2016. 1Ls may apply for summer 2016 positions beginning December 1; therefore, no resumes will be circulated during the Career Fair. Most diversity program deadlines will follow the exam period.  Dress is business casual, and snacks and beverages will be served.

Why attend?

• To learn about 20+ employers’ 1L Diversity Opportunities and their application processes in an efficient “one stop” manner.
• To develop short and long-term networking contacts, some of whom may become mentors.  Networking is the number one way that students secure employment outside of the traditional on-campus recruiting channels.
• To meet major employers in an informal setting prior to Early Interview Week and the 2016 Fall recruitment season.

To date, we have secured the following employer participants* and we anticipate more!

Please join us for a panel featuring (a) a law firm partner, (b) a diversity administrator, (c) an in-house counsel, and (d) a second-year NYU Law student who completed a 2015 1L diversity summer associate or fellowship program. The focus of the panel is to identify the ways in which issues of diversity in the workplace impact law students’ and attorneys’ career trajectories. We also hope to identify the benchmarks for success for attorneys – whether one plans to make partner at a firm, hold open that option, or prepare for a transition to another practice setting, including to in-house counsel.

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 28 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 28, 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.

Associate Dean Dorzback will be available to students on an individual basis by advance sign-up to discuss job search related issues during a walk around Washington Square Park. Sign up through the events tab on CSM https://law-nyu-csm.symplicity.com/students/.

Week 7 of Fall OCI – the final week – begins on Monday, October 26! Please see below for information regarding open sign-up and free sign-up.

Open Sign-Up: Open Sign-up will allow you to view all available interview slots for your class year during week 7 of Fall 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. 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.

This is a first-come, first-served process and 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 and requirements before signing up for an interview. “Trading” or “swapping” interviews is NOT permitted.

At this time, there are still available interview slots on the following employers’ Week 7 Fall OCI schedules:

Teigland-Hunt LLP (Trading/Derivatives Boutique Law New York, NY) – 2L Student

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 schedule 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 5:00 p.m. on the day prior to the employer’s visit on campus. 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.
