Touro Law Center and the New York State Bar Association
are partnering in a new internship opportunity for our students. The Real Property Law Section of the NYSBA is
actively soliciting host law firms to serve as mentors for students from Touro
and other law schools. The law school
will solicit resumes from interested students and forward them to the host
firms for consideration.
Professor Lewis Silverman, Director of Externship
Programs at Touro, commented: “Primarily
because of our suburban setting, many of our students have a keen interest in
pursuing opportunities in real estate, both residential and commercial. We think it is exciting that the New York
State Bar Association has recognized the student interest and is actively
seeking attorneys from the practicing bar to serve as mentors for law
students. Our incoming dean, Patricia
Salkin, also has a special expertise in real property law, and I am sure that
this partnership will serve our students well, both in their educational
endeavors and in future employment opportunities.”
Students interested in any of these positions should
submit their resumes to the Career Services Office by August
27th for the fall semester and November 1st for the Spring semester. The positions will be eligible for credit
either in the Civil Practice Externship for the Spring, 2013 semester, or
immediately as an Independent Externship in conjunction with a substantive law
course. For more information contact
