Participating Schools
Please note that this is the only interview program in which LL.M. students from Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, Michigan, Stanford, Virginia, and Yale participate. These schools support the program financially and administratively to ensure the success of our students. Accordingly, this program is reserved exclusively for interviewing students from these seven participating schools.

Nondiscrimination
Columbia Law School adheres to the non-discrimination statement set forth by the Association of American Law Schools.

  1. As a condition of obtaining any form of recruiting  assistance from Columbia Law School, employers are required to confirm their willingness to observe our equal opportunity commitment:
    Columbia Law School pursues a policy of equal opportunity to obtain employment, without discrimination or segregation on the grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, handicap or disability, gender (including gender identity or expression), or sexual orientation. Columbia Law School communicates to each employer to whom it furnishes assistance and facilities for interviewing and other recruitment functions the school’s expectation that the employer will observe these principles of equal opportunity.
  2. Federal law limits service in the United States military by some transgender individuals. This policy is in conflict with Columbia Law School’s policy against discrimination on grounds of gender identity or expression. However, the Solomon Amendment, another provision of federal law, provides that a university will lose all federal funds if a law school excludes military recruiters. As such, Columbia Law School cannot apply its non-discrimination policy in the case of military recruiters. This exception to our policy does not in any way reflect acceptance of, or agreement with, any existing or proposed discriminatory hiring practices, including against transgender individuals in the Armed Services.
  3. Columbia University is committed to fostering an environment that is free from gender-based discrimination and harassment, including sexual assault and all other forms of gender-based misconduct. Recruitment activities that are arranged through Columbia Law School, including on-campus interview programs and recruitment events, are covered by Columbia University policies.   

Complaint Procedures for Employer Violations of Nondiscrimination Policy
If someone makes you feel uncomfortable during your job search, you should speak with a career counselor immediately. Employer violations include, but are not limited to, questions or comments related to your race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, handicap or disability, gender (including gender identity or expression), and sexual orientation. Remarks related to the above matters are not only inappropriate, they are often illegal and our office takes them very seriously. Do not hesitate, even if you think that your claim is minor.
