Law Students

%u201CHard work, enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity are prized here.%u201D  %u2013Jennifer Feeney, Fordham Law School

We are actively seeking second- and third-year law school candidates from diverse backgrounds, life experiences and cultural perspectives. The ideal applicant has a record of academic success and excellent writing skills, as well as equally important but less tangible qualities such as enthusiasm, intellectual curiosity, and initiative. Second-year law students are invited to participate in our Summer Associate Program.

Students considering Otterbourg should note that:  the firm has not laid off any attorneys, no start dates for any first year attorneys joining us have been deferred and we are actively recruiting for summer associates for the summer of 2010.

We participate in on-campus interviewing and job fairs at numerous law schools throughout the United States, including:

  • Brooklyn Law School
  • Columbia University School of Law
  • Cornell Law School
  • Duke University School of Law
  • Fordham University School of Law
  • Georgetown University School of Law
  • Howard University School of Law
  • New York University School of Law
  • St. John's University School of Law
  • University of Pennsylvania School of Law

If you are a second- or third-year law student at a school where we do not currently conduct on-campus interviews, we invite you to submit your resume, transcript and a writing sample to recruiting@oshr.com.
