Is there any benefit for someone interested in clerking/gov work, maybe PI? I'm in at H/S and from reading this thread it seems that's a boost.

I mean, it's more-so focused on people interested in corporate law..... I don't really know if I'd say it's beneficial for you since you're not trying to get a foot in at any firms or anything. Unless you just want to experience corporate life to make sure you're not interested lolJGuy wrote:Is there any benefit for someone interested in clerking/gov work, maybe PI?

I'm guessing that transportation to NY comes out of my pocket? Housing too I suppose. Do people just sublease a place?

I think that they provide housing for those who AREN'T assigned a firm located in NYC for the week of "school" so to speak, but other than that, no.

Yup - you get paid for that week (to the best of my knowledge), so transportation to NYC and housing (provided you are in NYC for your placement) are out of pocket.brinicolec wrote:I believe places like NYU and CLS might offer summer housing for people who aren't students.JGuy wrote:Yea, I think that would be the thing for me.

As far as housing goes, subletting would be popular I assume. I have also had friends who get internships in other cities do AirBNB if you want to take that chance.

I love AirBnB but I'm wondering how much that would cost for like.. a couple months.

You might as well submit the one-page resume because my understanding is that firms don't want to look at multi-page resumes so you're going to have to do it.wildquest8200 wrote:i was invited to interview last week, and my resume is definitely not all on one page - I fixed it in advance of my interview but didn't want to submit since they haven't asked for it yet

I'm a bit confused. I received an e-mail from SEO and it says the deadline is March 15. Yet I see earlier in the thread that there were earlier deadlines for the SEO Fellowship..is it too late to "be competitive" apply?

Another question - is it recommended to follow the SEO Law Resume template or is it cool to use our own as long as it's a page? *I realize this is the most nitpicky question but I'm paranoid when I learn about what seem to be amazing opportunities fairly last minute.

Yeah, it definitely requires you to be pretty brief. But considering a lot of the earlier applicants got an email when they re-did the template asking us to resubmit it as one page its worth it to just get it out of the way.renc56 wrote:
