Evening Student Tip:  Network! Network! Network!  We know that you do not have a lot of downtime, but when you do (during one of your academic breaks), use that time to conduct a targeted networking campaign. You should consider setting up informational interviews and start making those important connections that will come in handy when you are ready to look for your first legal job. These will help you learn what issues are central to your practice areas of interest, and what kind of experience employers are seeking so you will know how to counter concerns about any lack of direct experience.

The Touro Law and NYU Public Interest Job Fairs are coming up! Click here to see a list of the Top 10 things you need to know to make the most of these opportunities.

Current Diversity Fellowship Opportunities

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Law Department- 2012 Diversity & Inclusion Summer Legal Internship Program
The Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”) Diversity & Inclusion Summer Legal Internship Program is intended to provide exceptional candidates with a unique and in-depth opportunity to work in the corporate law department of a premier global BioPharma company. They seek qualified law students of diverse backgrounds (first year preferred, but exceptional students at different stages of their legal education will be considered, including LL.M. students), and have exhibited an interest in learning about healthcare, pharmaceutical, and/or corporate practice.  Please note that summer internships are not expected to lead to an offer for full-time employment and the positions will be located in our central New Jersey offices.
Full posting is available on JACOB.

Special Notes
Evening Students
The Career Services Office encourages all evening students to obtain legal experience at least during the final two years of their law school career. While those seeking to transition from a present non-legal to a future legal career may find it difficult to make the transition so early, it is important for students to have legal experience on their resume by the time they graduate. Please stop by CSO or call the office to make an appointment to see a career counselor to talk about your individual circumstances. Erica Edwards-O'Neal, a Touro Law alum herself, is CSO's point person for evening students.
