Dear 1L Students,
The Jacobson Leadership Program in Law & Business is accepting applications to the program from students entering their second year of law school.
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.
