Applications should be submitted as early as possible, but no later than the end of January in the year in which applicants wish to join the program. Applications should include a resume, a transcript from the home-country law school and, if applicable, a transcript from any U.S. law school attended. Applications should also include a statement of the candidate’s intentions following completion of the program, such as return to a specific home-country firm, further academic work or practice of law in the United States.
All of the applicants are carefully considered, and a small number of candidates are invited to our New York office for an interview. S&C will reimburse the travel costs of applicants coming from law schools within the United States. The current employers of applicants traveling from overseas are expected to bear the costs of travel to New York.
We usually select the final candidates for the Visiting Lawyers Program in February or March for the program beginning in the fall. Unfortunately, because of the small size of the program and our desire to have lawyers from a broad range of countries represented over time, we must turn down many highly qualified candidates of exceptional merit.
