New York Law School 1Ls, 2Ls and evening 3Ls:
Please join us for the 2013 Family Law Internship Forum, where
you’ll have a chance to meet, and exchange business cards and
resumes with organizations from across New York City devoted to family law
in the public interest.
How to sign
up:
RIGHT NOW, FOLLOW
THIS LINK to complete your registration. You must submit
the online form between Monday, November 12th and Tuesday, December 11th.
It is to your benefit to register as early as possible because we will
match students with employers on a rolling basis. The registration site
will allow you to rank your top five choices of organizations from the
list above. The time slots will be scheduled in 30-minutes intervals, on
the hour and half-hour, with a 10-minute break between every 20-minute
meeting. Note that all attending students should be available from the
9:30 AM introductory remarks to the end of the last round-table discussion
at 12:30 PM. Lunch from 12:30 to 2:00 PM will be free and optional, but it
is recommended that you attend so that you can remind your favorite
organization of your interest or sit with someone with whom you did not
get to schedule a meeting.
By December 21st, you will hear
back from the Abbey Center with the organizations and schedule you have
been assigned.
How the event
works:
The purpose of this event is to match up students
interested in family law with family-oriented public interest organizations
and government agencies, so they can learn a bit about you and you can
learn a bit about them, their summer internship programs, and their
application timelines and processes. Each organization will have two or
three representatives present, and they will sit with up to six students
at a table for 20-minute intervals from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. You will be
able to meet with at least three of your top choice organizations and one
wild card organization that will be assigned to you to give you a taste of
something you might not normally choose. Lunch will be served from 12:30 to
2:00 PM to allow you some time to informally network with any organization
members of interest.
The Family Law Internship Forum is
organized by the Diane Abbey Law Center for Children and Families and New
York Law School’s Office of Career Services.
Please feel
free to contact
the Abbey Center with any questions.
All of the organizations attending are eager to hire New York Law School students interested in working in Family Law, so this is a great opportunity to get a head-start on meeting them and planning your summer.
