You can use the group to network with other NYU School of Law alumni in public interest.  PILC uses the group to share interesting jobs and make other announcements relevant for alumni.

Join today!

Those in attendance will view art work from a variety of artists, meet diplomats, win prizes, enjoy wine, a silent auction, and learn about art of face reading.

The first six NYU School of Law students to RSVP to the Public Interest Law Center, at pilc.info@nyu.edu, will receive free passes to the event. The deadline to RSVP for free passes is Friday, May 24 at Noon.

The U.S. Department of State, Office of the Legal Adviser in Washington, DC will not be participating in EIW this summer, and will be participating instead in Fall OCI.

Every student interested in law teaching should plan to participate in the main journal writing competition.  There are a number of benefits to working on a journal – you will become familiar with different types of academic writing, strengthen your own legal writing, learn how to read scholarship critically, and meet people with common interests.  Good luck!

Hello!  We are looking for volunteers for the Fall 2013 semester to serve as law school buddies to a great, enthusiastic group of approximately twelve foreign exchange students from all over the world.  For many of the foreign exchange students, this is their first time in New York and the United States.  We’d like to match a J.D. volunteer as a “law school buddy” for each foreign exchange student.  Ideally, buddies can provide advice about the law school life, classes and NYC to the foreign exchange students.

To encourage interaction, we offer an allowance of $20 to help subsidize an initial get-together over coffee, etc. between a foreign exchange student and each buddy.  This is a great opportunity for J.D. students to get to know other foreign law school students and  get different perspectives on legal life!  You can also get access to first-hand experience in specific countries and universities with which the Law School may have exchange and study-abroad programs and maybe even practice your foreign language skills.  This year we have students from various countries including Germany, China, Singapore, Denmark and Brazil.  If interested, please contact globalvisitors@exchange.law.nyu.edu and we will be happy to provide more details.

Consult this site to locate exam policies and procedures, identify support services during this stressful time, find available study spaces, and locate free coffee.  We wish you all the best for the Spring 2013 exam period!
