How it Works:
This is the premier hiring vehicle for public defenders in New York. Hosted by the University at Buffalo School of Law, we welcome applicants from all over the world to network and interview for internships, entry-level and lateral positions. Candidates will visit employers' zoom rooms for conversation and interviews (via breakout rooms) throughout the afternoon. Employers will also receive a list of the registered applicants a week before the fair. The list includes their profile, geographic preference and a link to their resume. They may contact applicants in advance to set a time to meet at the career fair or to arrange a separate time to talk.
Other Career Fair Events:
This virtual event is designed to be interactive and dynamic. Other activities will be happening throughout the afternoon.
1. Central Gathering Room
For networking with other attendees, getting tech help, asking questions and seeking advice.
2. Welcome Videos and Instructional Webinars
Your hosts offer your messages of welcome, inspiration and instruction on how to make the most of your time at the career fair.
3. In-Real-Time Panel Discussions (will be recorded and available afterward)
Topics will include advice for new public defenders, remote vs. in-person work arrangements, hot criminal law topics for 2021.
