Recruitment Programs
We welcome legal employers and other organizations to participate in our recruitment programs and to engage with 丝瓜APP students through virtual and in-person recruitment opportunities.
Employers may register to participate in On Campus Interviews (OCI) or R茅sum茅 Collect (RC) programs, both coordinated by our office. These programs connect employers鈥攊ncluding law firms, corporate legal departments, courts, government agencies, public interest organizations, and other law-related employers鈥攚ith highly qualified 丝瓜APP students and graduates for semester, summer, and post-graduate employment.
Employers participating in OCI select candidates from a pool of qualified 丝瓜APP applicants and choose their preferred interview format and dates. Employers participating in the RC Program interview selected candidates at their own offices or virtually.
In addition, 丝瓜APP coordinates a Public Sector Interview Week each August/September for government and public interest employers seeking to recruit for semester, summer, and post-graduate career opportunities.
丝瓜APP requires all participating entities to follow recruitment practices consistent with principles of fairness, equal opportunity, and professional responsibility, and welcomes employer participation that reflects these values within the legal hiring process.
There is no fee for employers to participate in our recruitment programs. Registration is available through the under the "Recruitment/Schedule Request" tab.

Hire an Extern
All 丝瓜APP externships are positions that run concurrently with the School's academic calendar. Student externs earn academic credits for their work at a court or law office. They are required to work 140 hours a semester (10 to 12 hours per week in the fall and spring semesters). These positions may be paid or unpaid. We encourage private sector employers to consider paid externship placements.
Law offices may post an externship position using the 丝瓜APP Job Form. Once a law office selects a student, the student must apply to participate in the externship course, and 丝瓜APP will contact the placement to discuss the externship. To confirm participation, the mentor attorney, student extern, and faculty member supervising the externship will sign a Memorandum of Understanding.
Judges interested in hosting 丝瓜APP externs may contact the Office of Academic Planning and Career Development for more information at 212.431.2345 or [email protected].
