The directors of the EJW and Skadden Fellowships will be holding virtual information sessions on March 30 and April 7 respectively. It is mandatory for you to attend these information sessions if you plan to apply for these fellowships. You are afforded the important opportunity to meet one-on-one with the fellowship directors. Please come prepared for those meetings. For assistance drafting your proposals or deciding which fellowship is right for you, set up an appointment with Judy Murciano or attend Judy’s drop-in hours.

If you are still seeking a position for 1L summer in the public sector, OPIA advisers are here to help! Make an appointment in CSM or come to drop-ins to meet with an adviser and make a game plan.

Though large private law firms have accelerated their hiring for 2L summer and are considering applications during 1L year, most plaintiffs’ firms have not made the same choice.  However, some large plaintiffs’ law firms, such as Berger Montague, Hausfeld, Klein Hornig, and Lieff Cabraser, are open to receiving 1Ls’ applications for 2L summer on a similar timeline.  If you are interested in working for a large plaintiffs’ firm during your 2L summer, double-check with the firm about when they expect to receive your application. Continue to watch the space, and work with both OPIA and OCS to craft a strategy that makes sense for your career goals and contextualize the changes happening in the recruiting markets.

If you haven't reported your summer internship status, please fill out this brief survey to let OPIA know where you stand!
