Students Say
The administration earns equal praise, but students note that “there has been a lot of turnover recently in the Office of Career Services.” One 3L told us, “Although I was able to find a good job I will start right out of school, I think I am the exception and not the norm.” Another current student who expressed concern about the quality of her job prospects told us, “I know many others who worry about getting a job, and I know that career services is, for lack of a better word, inept.” However, students are also quick to note “that career services HAS been improving” with several new hires including a new dean and two new career counselors “and has begun forays into firm outreach and programs designed to help students find jobs.” For one, Cardozo has launched the Resident Associate Mentors Program (RAMP) through which students work for one year at a fellowship salary at small and medium sized firms in New York. In fact, there is a “culture of prioritizing practical experience” that is “pervasive” at Cardozo. “Between in-house clinics, field clinics and externships,” students “gain a broad range of legal skills and interests,” and, as one says, “almost every single person I know at Cardozo has participated in a clinic or an externship.” Additionally, the Alexander Fellows Program allows students to work “full-time for credit as a junior clerk in the chambers of a federal judge” and attend a weekly seminar “also taught by a federal judge.”Other notable opportunities include externships through the FAME Center in fashion, arts, media, and entertainment, the Carodozo Startup Tech Clinic, and the Indie Film Clinic.
Students say “the library, research resources, professional and academic clinics, and access to networking events are all incredibly impressive.” However, while “the library is beautiful and overlooks Fifth Avenue,” students are quick to complain about its hours of operation and the availability of facilities in general. “In addition to closing prohibitively early on Fridays and remaining closed all day on Saturdays,” one student notes, “the building also doesn’t stay open past midnight Sunday through Thursday.”
