View the 2007 Fall
Recruitment Schedule
The On-Campus Interview Program, which runs for approximately six weeks at the beginning of the fall semester, provides students with some exciting job opportunities and prospective employers with the ability to conduct interviews directly at the Law Center, and thus meet with many candidates. Employers are typically looking for students to work in the firm or agency's summer program, although some employers are recruiting students for permanent employment.
Please keep in mind that only a small percentage of employers participate in a law school's on-campus interview program. Most students and graduates will obtain their summer and permanent positions through other means, such as part-time jobs, internships, externships, and clerkships. However, for those students who do participate, it is an excellent opportunity to secure a position early in the school year.
Anti-Discrimination Policy
It is the policy of Touro Law Center to prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, or sexual orientation in its education programs, admissions policies, employment policies, and other school administered programs, and to refuse access to employers who refuse to sign nondiscrimination statements and/or who otherwise discriminate in violation of the nondiscrimination policy.
Military Recruiting Policy
By statute, the United States Armed Services will not employ for any position those that it deems to be lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Because of the conflict between these policies, in the past the Touro Law Center has refused access to recruiters from the U.S. Armed Services.
Recently, the U.S. government has threatened to cut off federal work-study funds and certain loans to educational institutions which deny reasonable access to the Armed Services. Because of the government's threat to this important source of student financial aid, the Law Center has decided to allow military recruiters to interview Touro law students at a convenient location off campus. This step is being taken solely to ensure our students access to federal financial aid and in no way represents approval of the Armed Services policy or a withdrawal from our firm commitment to our nondiscrimination policy.
