General Hiring Criteria | Lottery Selections
The hiring process is highly competitive; therefore, the member organizations will adhere to the same hiring criteria they use when seeking candidates through the on-campus interview process. The hiring criteria may include:
- A strong GPA;
- Law Review or Law Journal, Mock Trial or Moot Court experience
- Prior employment
- Strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills.
Ultimately the member organizations determine the qualifications that best meet their hiring requirements. The BLG hopes that every participating student will receive at least one interview. Students who have been selected for one or more interviews can potentially obtain additional interviews through the lottery selection process. Opportunities for additional interviews may occur during the scheduling process, prior to the student receiving a final schedule, or on the day of the job fair. The availability of a lottery interview on the day of the job fair is based on a first come, first served basis.
Note: If an employer selects a student for an interview and the student withdraws from that interview, the student will not receive additional interviews through the lottery selection process.
