Fall 2008 Recruiting Information

 

Fall recruiting involves a number of different opportunities including the Fall OCI, Resume Referral and Direct Contact programs, off campus job fairs, government honors programs and fellowship applications.  Despite the name, fall recruiting often begins in late spring so be sure to review the following information so that you do not miss any important deadlines. 

 

On-Campus Interview Program ("OCI") 

 

Every fall beginning in August, law firms, corporations and government agencies come on campus to interview 2L and 3L law students for summer associate positions and permanent placement after graduation, respectively.   In order to participate in OCI, you need to submit the necessary materials requested by each employer (i.e. resume, writing sample, transcript, etc.) by the specific deadline.  CPC advisors are available all summer, in person by email and phone, to discuss which employers you should target and to assist you in updating your resume in a timely manner.  All correspondence involving the Fall OCI program will be provided via email to the email address you have listed on Symplicity and many emails will be sent over the summer providing you with bidding instructions and deadline reminders.  Be sure to check your email regularly so that you do not miss any important information.   

 

The Fall OCI program will take place in two phases. 

 

Phase I Phase I of OCI is open exclusively to those employers who are members of NALP                (www.nalpdirectory.com).  Bidding for Phase I of OCI will take place from Tuesday, July 1 through Monday, July 14 via Symplicity.  Interviews for Phase I will take place from Monday, August 11 through Friday, August 15.  Please note that some of the employers participating in Phase I of OCI will host receptions for those students selected to interview.  These receptions generally take place at the firm the night before the firm’s interviews although some receptions may take place the week before.  These receptions are an important aspect of the interview process so please remember this while making your travel plans for the summer.   

 

Phase II:  Phase II of OCI will include a wide variety of employers including large, mid-size and small firms, government agencies, public interest employers and corporations.  Bidding will take place in August with interviews taking place from Monday, September 8 through Friday, October 31.  The specific bidding dates will be provided to you over the summer.  

 

In conjunction with the OCI program, the CPC also administers its Resume Referral and Direct Contact programs.  These programs feature employers who would like to receive applications from University of Miami School of Law students but are unable to come on campus.  More information about these programs will be available this summer.

 

Job Fair Information - 2008

University of Miami School of Law participates in numerous job fairs with other law schools and organizations.  These programs give students increased access to a broad range of employers, and help accommodate employers unable to travel to University of Miami School of Law for on-campus interviews.  Students interested in getting exposure to employers outside of Florida should consider attending job fairs.  Some job fairs require you to register and apply through the CPC, while others allow you to apply directly to the job fair.  All job fairs have strict deadlines that must be adhered to.  Please review the job fairs available to you and make note of any deadlines.  For more information, please contact the advisor listed for a particular job fair. 

Pre-Registration:  For some job fairs you will be required to pre-register with the CPC in order to receive important information including participating employers and deadlines.  Pre-registration does not mean you are committing to participating in and attending the job fair.  Rather, pre-registration simply means that you are interested in receiving materials about the job fair and are considering applying.  To pre-register to receive job fair information, please submit a pre-registration form to the CPC.  Pre-registration forms will be available in the CPC starting April 1st.

Announcing the Federal Service Student Ambassadors

 

Announcing: The Federal Service Student Ambassadors

WHAT:  

The Federal Service Student Ambassadors, sponsored by the nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, Partnership for Public Service, is designed to increase interest in federal service on college campuses through developing a corps of passionate student advocates (you!) who will actively promote public service following their completion of a summer federal internship.

WHEN:  

Ambassadors will return to campus following their internship ready to lead major outreach efforts to their campus community during the 2008-2009 school year. Apply soon because applications will be reviewed as they are received!

WHY:   

Our government is facing a crisis: In the next five years, nearly one-third of the 1.9 million federal employees will be eligible for retirement. In order to meet the challenges that we face as a nation, it is critical that we have talented and skilled applicants that want to make a difference in our country by applying to be a part of the federal workforce.

BONUS!   

Ambassadors will attend a dynamic training in July in Washington, DC with nine other Ambassadors from universities across the country. Ambassadors will also receive regular feedback and assistance from staff members in Washington, DC as well as from their school and fellow Ambassadors. They will also receive a $2,200 stipend for their service.

Ambassadors will have an experience to add to their resume that really sets them apart from other applicants. They will lead a major outreach effort on their campus, meeting with faculty and staff, writing articles for newspapers and magazines, and educating their campus communities about opportunities in the federal government.

WHO:    

The Partnership is seeking Ambassadors for the 2008-2009 school year who will be participating in an internship with a federal agency in Washington, DC for the summer of 2008. Ideal candidates will possess strong interpersonal and communications skills, demonstrate a commitment to public service and be actively involved in leadership roles and/or extracurricular activities.

HOW:    

For more information regarding this opportunity, including a full position overview, qualifications, and application instructions, download the application at http://www.makingthedifference.org/index.shtml. For more information, please contact:
Caroline Pettit at ambassadors@ourpublicservice.org or 202-775-6956.

Clinical Teaching Fellowship -

Community Economic Development Clinic

 

CLINICAL TEACHING FELLOWSHIP - COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CLINIC

FORDHAM LAW SCHOOL, NYC

  

Fordham’s Community Economic Development ("CED") Clinic is initiating a Teaching Fellowship.  The Fellow will work with experienced CED practitioner Brian Glick.  S/he will help supervise students in client representation and co-teach the CED Clinic seminar and is expected to participate actively in the life of the clinical program and law school.  This is a two- year fellowship.  The goal is to have Fordham's first Fellow start by mid-August, 2008, although a later start could be arranged. 

 

Fordham’s CED Clinic represents New York City groups fighting for social justice in low-income communities of color and low-wage, predominantly immigrant workforces.  As their general counsel, the clinic helps sustain effective organizations and build institutions- health clinics, childcare centers, worker-owned enterprises- that empower their participants while providing desperately needed services and opportunities.  The clinic supports neighborhood efforts to shape development, limit gentrification and win community benefits agreements.  It also assists small grassroots groups with incorporation, bylaws and tax exemption.   Students learn transactional business lawyering in a nonprofit social justice setting. 

 

They seek an attorney with at least two years’ experience, preferably more, who is interested in pursuing a career in clinical teaching.  Spanish fluency and transactional or social lawyering experience preferred.  The fellow will receive a stipend commensurate with his/her experience, plus full benefits and support for attending trainings and conferences. 

 

To apply, please e-mail a resume and letter of interest to cedfellowship@law.fordham.edu.  Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.

GOVERNMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Attorney General's Honors Program and Summer Law Intern Program

                                                                            NEW FOR 2008-2009!

There are exciting new developments in the Attorney General’s Honors Program and Summer Law Intern Program!

Highlights include:

An earlier application deadline and a faster review and selection process.
- Don’t miss the September 2, 2008 application deadline.
- Candidates selected for Honors Program ("HP") interviews will be notified on or about September 19, 2008. Summer Law Intern Program ("SLIP") candidates will be notified on or about September 23, 2008.
- Government-funded HP interviews will be scheduled October 6-20, 2008. SLIP interviews, mostly telephonic, will begin following notification.
- Most offers will be issued by late October.

Four United States Attorneys’ Offices ("USAO"s) and the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys ("EOUSA") are formal HP participants this year, hiring approximately 16 entry-level attorneys. Applicants interested in becoming an Assistant U.S. Attorney ("AUSA") will be able to designate the “U.S. Attorney’s Office” as one of their employment preferences, then, later in the application, select the specific offices. Due to the level of responsibility held by AUSAs, these opportunities are only available to applicants who are admitted to a bar or, in some cases, who have taken a summer 2008 bar examination with results due in fall 2008. Current law students (pre-J.D.) are not eligible. Participating USAOs are:

- The Central District of California, Los Angeles, CA.
- The Southern District of California, San Diego, CA.
- The Western District of Michigan, Grand Rapids, MI.
- The Middle District of Florida, Orlando, FL.
- EOUSA, Washington, D.C., with possible assignments nationwide.

The USAO for the District of Wyoming is the very first USAO to become a formal SLIP participant and it is offering a position in one of the Nation’s most scenic national parks. Hiring for Cheyenne, WY, or Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, the Summer Intern will assist with criminal and civil cases in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne or will assist in the prosecution of a range of misdemeanors in Yellowstone National Park.

Civil Division applicants will be able to designate specific sections of interest.

Executive Office of Immigration Review applicants will be able to designate geographic areas of preference by city and state, and comment on any geographic restrictions on their assignment.

The Honors Program application has been expanded to permit applicants serving in post-J.D. legal fellowships to apply online on a conditional basis. OARM will determine whether an exception to policy will be granted on a case-by-case basis.

PLEASE VISIT THE WEBSITE AT www.usdoj.gov/oarm FOR DETAILS!
