The end of the academic year!

Summer is in full swing and Stein Scholars ended the 2012-2013 year back in May.* That is not to say, however, that the Steins aren't getting ready for 2013-2014!

A new council has been selected (aside from the 1L reps who will be elected in the Fall) and has met a few times already, applications for new Steins are being reviewed, and all the current Steins are busy at their super exciting and interesting internships/jobs.

We ended the year with a party, graciously hosted by one of our own Steins. A few pictures below!

Stein This Week: The Public Interest Job Search

2Ls and 3Ls telling it like it is

The infamous NYU PILC Fair is tomorrow and Friday!

Today at our Stein Scholars meeting (which happens every Wednesday from 4:30 to 6:00PM at the law school), the 2Ls and 3Ls soothed 1L nerves by providing great advice, tips, suggestions, and anecdotes regarding the PILC fair.

The 2Ls and 3Ls fielded questions ranging from the physical layout of the fair to tips on how to handle the "madness of the Table Talk" to what to bring to the fair to how to accept the dream internship offer and turn the other equally-awesome-but-just-not-the-perfect-fit offers down.

Plus, somebody amazing brought cupcakes and sustenance...

Sugar also calms the nerves

This Q&A session embodied what is great about being a part of the Stein family -- the passing down of wisdom and lessons learned from experience. So often law school can be incredibly competitive and people don't watch out for each other; being a part of the Stein Scholars reminds us that we're a community and here to help each other succeed.

Good luck to everybody at the PILC Fair!

Stein Scholars Mock Interviews

On Wednesday, January 30, Stein Scholars alumni and friends conducted mock interviews to help current Stein Scholars prepare for the NYU Public Interest Legal Career (PILC) Fair and other interviews Steins may have landed for summer internships or job prospects.

Stein Scholars Mock Interviews in Platt Atrium, Fordham Law School

It was a very helpful and productive session. Before the interviews started, Steins received some tips from Andrew Chapin and then we were let loose for 20 minute mock interviews. Interviewers had copies of resumes already and allowed the interviewee to request the mock (for example: a particular firm or a specific practice area). After the interview, the interviewer provided feedback and input.

Some pictures have been posted to the Stein Center for Law and Ethics Facebook page. You can view them here. You should also consider "Liking" the Stein Center for Law and Ethics Facebook page as another way to hear more about Stein Scholars as well as the Stein Center as a whole!

Thanks to all the Stein alumni, faculty, and administrators who participated in the mock interviews!

A preview of our recent Stein Scholars Photoshoot!

(Actually, it was just a group shot in the Moot Court Room but there was nice lighting and a professional photographer ... )
