A Message from the Career Services Office:
I am pleased to announce that the Charles H. Revson Foundation will continue to offer the
Law Students Public Interest (LSPIN) Fellowship Program for the summer of 2011.
The LSPIN Fellowship Program will provide grants for first- and second-year law students attending law school in New York and New Jersey to work with public interest organizations in the New York metropolitan area for ten weeks during the summer. Last year, 101 law students were awarded stipends in the amount of $4500 through the Program. In fact, 3L Andrew Bernstein, a recipient of the fellowship last summer, was profiled in The National Jurist magazine in September.
This is an important source of summer funding. You do not need to have a summer job at the time of the application. We very much encourage you to apply.

Application Instructions to check their eligibility and application procedures. Please read them carefully because they must be followed exactly. The application is not difficult but it must be accurate. The

s Friday, November 12 at 3 p.m.
If you are a 1L and you have not had your resume reviewed by a counselor, it is critical that you create a draft of your resume by strictly following the sample at http://www.tourolaw.edu/pdf/resumes.pdf. Once you have done so, please contact Cookie Sacks at 631-761-7030 or irenes@tourolaw.edu to find out which counselor has been assigned to you. E-mail the draft of your resume to your assigned counselor. We are expecting to receive many requests for resume reviews in the coming week. If you do not follow the sample “to the letter”, we may be unable to review and revise it in time for the deadline.
If you are an upper classman, we encourage you to have your resume reviewed by any career counselor before the deadline.
