CAREERS

Our Early Interview Program (EIP) provides rising second- and third-year students the opportunity to apply for interviews with many of the largest international and national law firms; midsize and smaller firms; federal, state, and local government agencies; and a variety of public interest and not-for-profit organizations.

EIP typically runs from mid-July to late October each year, and virtual interviews are conducted through the Flo Recruit platform.

Employers interviewing Hofstra Law students in connection with EIP select the students they wish to interview; we do not operate a lottery. They are also welcome to participate in our Resume Collection Program, through which they will receive from Hofstra Law a packet containing the application materials for all the students wishing to interview with that employer. Employers may designate the date by which they wish to receive the resume packet, which can be in advance of the commencement of EIP. The employer is also free to invite selected students to their offices for an interview.

If employers are prepared to consider first-year students with only fall semester grades, resume packets can be made as early as they request. If an employer is not yet familiar with Hofstra Law students and the great talent they offer, Daphne Telfeyan is happy to work with them to allow them to be introduced to our students through the submission of select resumes.

There is no fee to employers to participate in the EIP and Resume Collection Program. If you would like to participate in these programs, please complete and return to us our Program Registration Form and Statement of Non-Discrimination.

OCI also offers public sector employers the opportunity to recruit students for their summer programs and for post-graduate employment.

During the spring semester, Hofstra Law hosts a virtual Spring Interview Program (SIP) for employers seeking to hire summer interns and/or entry-level attorneys.

Students may apply to as many employers as they wish, and employers may select all of the students they wish to interview. The interviews are generally conducted in March virtually. Employers may also arrange to conduct on-campus interviews at the Office of Career Services or remotely through the Flo Recruit platform throughout the semester.

There is no fee to participate in this program, and employers select the students they wish to interview.

Hofstra Law is committed to a policy against discrimination in employment on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, handicap or disability, or sexual orientation. The Career Services facilities of the Law School are available only to employers whose practices are consistent with this policy.

The Association of American Law Schools’ Bylaw 6-3(b) provides:

“A member school shall provide equality of opportunity in legal education for all persons, including faculty and employees, with respect to hiring, continuation, promotion and tenure, applicants for admission, enrolled students, and graduates, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender (including identity and expression), sexual orientation, age, or disability.”

Our own rules similarly prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, national or ethnic origin, physical or mental disability, marital status, or veteran status.
