Updates for the 2026-2027 International Student Interview Program
In response to employer feedback and market changes, we are hosting three sessions for this year’s ISIP - 1) ISIP Preview - Fall Semester, 2) ISIP In-Person on January 22, 2027, and 3) ISIP Spring Resume Collection. Students should expect to apply to employers of interest in all three. Employers may choose to participate in only one session, so all students should review employers in all sessions.
Upcoming Webinar for Participating Schools
We will host a brief webinar on August 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. New York time to go over the new dates and changes to the program as well as to review the ISIP Symplicity system for any new users. The session will be recorded if you are unable to attend.
If you are a participating school and have not received the webinar link, please contact Clara Solomon at law.isip@nyu.edu.
ISIP Symplicity Registration
All ISIP member schools should designate one contact to receive communications and updates from the NYU ISIP Program Coordinator. All ISIP contacts will receive an ISIP Symplicity manager account, allowing you to review and manage your students’ participation. If you do not have an ISIP Symplicity manager account, or need your password reset, please contact Clara Solomon at law.isip@nyu.edu.
Contact the NYU ISIP Program Coordinator for any questions about registration and student lists.
School Registration
Schools should register online through the ISIP Registration form and the CSV template for student uploads by September 11, 2026. Please upload ALL of your eligible LLM students, regardless of the students’ stated intention to participate. We prefer not to add students individually after the bulk upload, if possible.
After completing this form, including our Privacy Policy Affirmation, we will activate or confirm the ISIP Symplicity account for your school.
There is a fee of $1,000 for all school participants. The fees help to offset our administrative costs in running the program. Invoices will be due by October 16, 2026. Please remember that you have a separate Symplicity login for invoices and payments. If you need your login information or your password reset, please email me directly. If you wish to pay now, due to budgetary preferences, please let us know via email and we can prepare an invoice early.
Uploading Students
Coordinators are required to pre-register all students no later than September 11, 2026 by completing the Google Form with your students' information using the CSV template.
Please follow the CSV template format exactly as directed to ensure an accurate upload.
Please use the School List and Countries List to fill in the correct school and country of 1st law degree fields (note that the list should include the country where the student received his/her law degree, not country of citizenship). Students with first law degrees from Puerto Rico are not eligible to participate, and only one country of law degree may be listed for each student.
NYU will be creating unique passwords for every student and will send login information to students by October 7th. We strongly recommend that you add ALL your students to the list, regardless of their career intentions. Please use the students’ school email address for ease of communication. Students will not be able to change their email address in the system.
Student Eligibility
Students currently enrolled in a US graduate (LLM or JSD) program from one of our participating law schools, who received their first law degree from another country, are eligible to interview in this program. Participation is limited to one event per degree earned at one of the participating schools.
Students currently enrolled in a US JD program are not eligible to participate under any circumstances. LLM students who received their first law degree from the US are not eligible to participate. Law degrees from Puerto Rico are considered US JDs and those students are not eligible to participate in ISIP.
Part-time LLM students may participate in ISIP once during their studies. Generally, this should be in the final semester of their LLM. Part-time students with a December/January graduation date may interview in the January of their graduation.
JSD participation is limited to one ISIP event while a JSD student. Most will choose to do so in the final year of their JSD studies. Students continuing their studies during the following fall semester will need to make their need for a summer associate/intern position and their later graduation date clear in a required cover letter to be submitted along with their resume to each ISIP employer. Since most employers at ISIP are interviewing for full-time, post-graduate positions, we recommend that JSD students wait until their final year of studies to participate.
Student Applications
Please review the student information page for instructions on the student application process.
Pre-screening & country of first law degree: ISIP is 100% pre-screened, with employers selecting the candidates they wish to interview. Employers indicate hiring criteria when they register, including the country(ies) of first law degree from which they wish to receive applications. In ISIP Symplicity, students will only be able to see and apply to those employers that have requested their country of first law degree. We do encourage employers to select countries broadly, but this means that some students will have more opportunities through ISIP than others.
If a student has qualifications in more than one country (e.g. a dual UK/French law degree), they can refer to our instructions for submitting manual applications directly to the ISIP Program Coordinator. Please contact NYU’s ISIP Program Coordinator if you have questions about this process.
Additional documents: Students will be able to upload a resume and one home country transcript to the ISIP system. While some employers may request additional documents such as a transcript or writing sample, they will only receive resumes and one home country transcript document through ISIP Symplicity. If the student attended more than one law program before entering their LLM, they should combine all pre-LLM transcripts into one PDF. They should be instructed to remove any watermarks or digital security before uploading and to be mindful of the file size.
Accept/decline deadline: Students have the opportunity to accept or decline the invitations to interview through both the preview (November) and in-person (January) programs. There are no exceptions to these deadlines and students must have access to the internet to confirm their interviews during the winter break. If a student accepts the interview invitation, they are expected to attend the interview virtually (in November) or in-person in New York (January). There is no virtual option for the January program.
Late employer registration & ISIP resume books: When completing their profile in ISIP Symplicity, students will be asked if they agree to release their resume to all ISIP employers. The default for this question is “yes” and it is to the students’ advantage to agree to this provision. If an employer registers after the student application deadline, or is interested in reviewing additional candidate resumes, we will share a resume book of students who agreed to release their resumes broadly.
Interview scheduling: Due to the size and complexity of the program, students will not be able to select their own interview times, and will be expected to attend the interview at their assigned time.
Resume collect employers: Employers who are indicated as “Resume Collection Only” will contact students directly to set up interviews outside of the ISIP process.
