If I
participate in the NYLS Fall or Spring Recruitment Programs, am I able to
select the candidates I will interview?
Yes. An employer participating in either Fall or
Spring Recruitment On Campus Interviewing (OCI) typically interviews 20-21
students. Employers receive applications from students that meet the
hiring criteria set forth by the employer. The employer
reviews the application materials and selects the candidates to be
interviewed.
I have
a small firm and would like to invite a student to intern in my
office. I simply don’t know if
I can afford the extra expense, are funds available that might allow me to
provide this experience?
There is a program
available to you. We appreciate your interest and will
do all we can to help qualifying firms locate work-study eligible students
who would be an appropriate fit for your office. Qualifying firms should
contact the New York Law School Office of Financial Aid early in each
recruiting season to determine whether they qualify to participate in this
program. For more information, review Extra Support for Very
Small Private Sector Employers.
