Just Dinged SEC Honors 1L Taking Qs
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 17th, 2008 9:02 PM Author: insecure organic girlfriend nursing home Thank you for your interest in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's 2008 Summer Honors Program – 1L. The Summer Honors Program receives applications from law students across the nation. Although your credentials are impressive, we will be unable to offer you a position at our headquarters in Washington, DC, next summer. Please note that our hiring committees in our regional offices continue to review applications so you may hear separately from other offices to which you applied.
We wish you much luck in your endeavors.

Date: January 17th, 2008 9:36 PM Author: onyx magical public bath Yeah, maybe I'll look into it. I guess I should probably wait for grades before applying. Opinions on this? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=748784&forum_id=2#9179303) |
|
Date: January 17th, 2008 10:53 PM Author: insecure organic girlfriend nursing home I am not sure I would wait for grades. Over 1,000 people apply and I think they said to apply early. If you have a decend UG record I would apply now and forward grades if possible.
When will you get your grades? I got my first grade on 12/21 and my last grade during the second week of January |
|
Date: January 17th, 2008 9:28 PM Author: insecure organic girlfriend nursing home I think the pay works out to $8,500 for the summer. The SEC is the most competitive and arguably the most prestigious of all government internship that you can get as a 1L. If you are intersted in going into corporate law (securities, compliance, registration, etc.) I think this would be a good move.
See if your school subscribes to: Government Honors & Internship Handbook 2007-2008: http://www.law.arizona.edu/career/honorshandbook.cfm
Produced annually by the University of Arizona School of Law, this is the most comprehensive directory of federal government opportunities for law students and law graduates, containing descriptions of the agencies, their hiring programs, and application processes.
I am sure GW subscribes |

Date: January 17th, 2008 9:36 PM Author: onyx magical public bath $8,500 really isn't too bad.
Do you know if it's just HYSCCN people that get accepted or pretty much anyone has a shot? |
|
Date: January 17th, 2008 10:49 PM Author: insecure organic girlfriend nursing home I don't really know of anyone who has been accepted. My guess is that HYSCCN folks would have a definite edge. As I recall, the application asked if I had won any type of scholarship and specifically asked if I had won a Rhodes, Marshall, etc. They also asked if I had published work.
I think(hope) that anyone has a shot. The NY and D.C. offices are hellishly difficult to get. You might have luck with one of the field offices though. |

Date: January 17th, 2008 10:56 PM Author: carnelian beta garrison dysfunction It is not just T6 people who get it. I know two people at 51-100 schools that have done it in the last three years. I don't have any idea what the actual numbers are, but I'm pretty sure I remember one of them saying that there was a pretty wide mix of schools represented. This would fit w/ what I know about DOJ hiring in general - school is not as big a factor as firms. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=748784&forum_id=2#9179699) |
|
Date: January 17th, 2008 11:01 PM Author: insecure organic girlfriend nursing home This is what I thought. The public sector is less focused on what law school you come from Firms are much pickier. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=748784&forum_id=2#9179721) |

unfortunately, they have enough tier-4 applicants as it is (between Catholic, American, GMU, and GWU, they have their hands full). |
|
Date: January 17th, 2008 9:17 PM Author: insecure organic girlfriend nursing home If I recall, all the ones you mentioned are unpaid. Even some of the unpaid volunteer positions get 60 applications for 1 spot. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=748784&forum_id=2#9179174) |

but yes, you won't get an offer from a tier-4 unless you take a regional office with no local law schools. |
|
Date: January 17th, 2008 10:59 PM Author: insecure organic girlfriend nursing home As a 1L all the ones I mentioned are the only ones in the Honors Handbook that pay. The rest were all volunteer position. There may be other gov't agencies that aren't listed in the handbook that pay 1Ls though. I am by no means an expert.

UG major business, MBA and some relevant work experience working on SARBOX issues at a multinational overseas. I also figured that applying early without grades might benefit me.
