Students seeking to be admitted to the New York bar will need to submit a not also need a Law-Related Employment Affirmation for that work.
The Application for Admission requires an applicant to list every type of employment the applicant has had (since the applicant reached the age of 21, or in the last 10 years, whichever period is shorter) and submit affirmations for every law-related position. The Application for Admission’s definition of “employment” includes employment with or without monetary compensation, law-related work-study employment, and law-related employment for academic credit only, including participation in law school clinics and externships, and work as a research assistant. For this reason, students are required to submit Law-Related Employment Affirmations from any SPO or Clinic that they participate in.
The Law-Related Employment Affirmation is completed by the Clinic or SPO – not the student – with the exception of the section that explicitly states “to be completed by applicant.” Upon completion by the Clinic, the original Law-Related Employment Affirmation will be given to the student so that the student can submit it with the Application for Admission. Note that this form is new as of October 2018 and does not need to be notarized.
To request a Law-Related Employment Affirmation from the Cyberlaw Clinic, please submit this form.
