May 19 - June 21

Candidates Apply

the bidding system

Law students and post-grad candidates will each receive ten bids to allocate across firms. You will use those bids to rank apply to your top ten choices.

There is no general resume drop this year.

Resumes are required for each bid. Additional required materials—cover letters, writing samples, and transcripts—may be set by the employer.

June 22 - June 27

Interview Invitations

employer’s choice

Firms will review the bids they have received and extend invitations for interviews to candidates.

Each candidate may receive a maximum of five interview invitations on a first-come-first-served basis. If more than five firms attempt to invite a student for an interview, they will be asked to select an alternative candidate.

Employers may conduct as many interviews as they like.

Interview schedules will be posted on June 27-28.

June 29 - July 1

Interview with Plaintiffs’ Firms

hosted on FloRecruit

Virtual interviews will be hosted on the FloRecruit platform.

Firms can then conduct follow-up interviews and make hiring decisions on their own timelines, outside of the FloRecruit platform.

Student Conduct Policy

By registering for the job fair, you are agreeing to the following student conduct policy

Candidate Selection Process

To promote opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds, NPLA uses a hybrid candidate selection system that includes both employer-selected and lottery-selected candidates. The specific ratio will be determined by NPLA based on the number of participating employers and students. Participating students agree to this selection policy and acknowledge that participation in the job fair does not guarantee an interview or a job offer.  


Interviewing Policy

Participating students agree to participate in all interviews in a respectful and professional manner. If an interview must be canceled, students are expected to provide timely notice to employers. 

Compliance

Failure to comply with these policies may result in future prohibition from participation in NPLA job fairs and other NPLA-sponsored initiatives and programming. 

Communication with Employers 

Participating students agree to be respectful and professional in all communications with employers. Students shall refrain from unsolicited outreach to recruiters, including phone calls, text messages, and emails requesting interviews or attempting to discuss their candidacy with interviewers. 

Generative Artificial Intelligence Policy

NPLA strictly prohibits the use of generative artificial intelligence in application materials. Participating students agree to adhere to this policy and shall cooperate fully with any follow-up inquiries from employers seeking to verify the originality of submitted work. 

Student Administration and Communication Policy

The NPLA job fair is organized and administered by volunteers who are full-time law students. Participating students acknowledge this and agree to communicate in a respectful and professional manner. This includes, but is not limited to, refraining from unsolicited phone calls and text messages, as well as repeated follow-up messages within a short period of time. Any necessary calls should be scheduled in advance at a mutually agreed-upon time. Students further agree to exercise due diligence in addressing questions or issues on their end and to utilize FloRecruit’s chat support features as the primary means of resolving logistical matters.
