How long did it take from first interview with NHPD to get second round? I had my phone interview about a week ago and was wondering re:timeline.

They seem to be rolling in at different times for different people. I know some people who got a second round interview two weeks after EJW, but I got a second round last week and also interviewed at EJW.

I got a second round yesterday and I interviewed on Thursday fwiw.

Me too. That was the one interview that I thought went well too. I'm really bummed. I wonder what I am doing wrong? Do you think it's ok to ask them for advice?

Same! I wonder if anyone from EJW ended up receiving another interview with BDS?? I know they only had six openings for trial attorney positions..maybe they offered them to current interns. It's worth a shot, however, they did not respond back to my follow up email after the initial interview.

Someone from my school got a post-EJW second round interview with BDS and wasn't a former intern. I also got the post-EJW rejection letter and was disappointed after feeling like the interview went well. Maybe the interviewers were just really nice??

I'm a former intern and haven't heard back after my second round. I'm also curious about where and when you heard about them hiring 6 people. I heard about a million different things this summer but 6 people is actually not as depressing as some of the stuff I heard.

Under the EJW job description for BDS trial attorney it stated that the number of openings is six.

Is anyone applying to post-bar clerkships in CA? And specifically, is anyone interviewing for the San Diego post-bar clerkship? Wondering if any non-local applicants have done a second round yet. I did my first round mid-Oct, I believe, and haven't heard anything yet.

I'm thinking about applying but IDK how much the stipend is. I'm from out of town and I want to make sure I can afford it

Just received a Tina interview with NY Legal Aid (applied directly). I had to reschedule so I talked to her directly. She said these are the last of the first round interviews. Also, just got officially rejected by Bronx via email.

Re: LAS--Did Tina mean, 1) that these are the last Tina interviews going out during this round of offering/hiring, or, 2) that LAS is currently finishing the last of its first round (mock summation) interviews?

Re: BXD--Did you interview at their office over the last two weeks, or elsewhere?


Re: BXD to everyone--Has anyone heard anything back after interviewing at their office sometime during the last two weeks?

Also, did anyone who interviewed at their office sometime during the last two weeks ask about BxD's decision timeline?

If you're referring to the San Diego one, I'm pretty sure it's hourly. I just can't find the amount posted anywhere. I assume somewhere around $15-$20/hr based on other post bar programs. For reference, Alameda pays $16.38/hr, and its PDs are paid $67k/year. San Diego PDs are paid $56-65k/year.

Got BXD reject in email today. I applied to them every summer and for an externship and never got an interview. I really hope the above poster meant the last of the 1st round interviews. I only had mine 2 weeks ago and would be really bummed if there are no more Tina interviews happening.

LAS--I'm not exactly sure. When I asked to reschedule she said "We were supposed to finish interviewing before Thanksgiving, so if you can't make this date, I can't be sure we'll have slots open again." And then something about how it's the end of this round. I wasnt extremely focused on that information. I was trying to figure out if I could make the interview or not.

BXD--In the last two weeks, I've done a 2nd interview with CO. I have NH, LAS, and Palm Beach (2nd round) beginning next week through the 20th.
