Was it Miami? They asked me that last year (didn't get an interview though)
So likely an auto-email for applicants -- thanks!

No, it seemed like a form letter - very generic. I just didn't know if it was a form letter they sent to everyone or just to people that they were actually seriously considering.

Has anyone heard from Brooklyn Defender Services or Bronx Defenders yet? Has anyone ever interviewed with them?

I applied for the assistant public defender job with Miami PD and I did not get an email asking about my eligibility for a practice certificate. Thanks!

I applied to Bronx Defenders as well and have not heard anything back yet. I haven't heard of anyone that has either.

Yeah, my application was for assistant PD position too. (I'm the OP asking about the email). I've decided I have no idea what the hell it means.

If it makes you feel any better, I applied for Miami PD as well, and didn't get the e-mail request. I can only assume it means they're interested in your application if they're asking for more info.

Pretty sure I've been refreshing my Activity page like every 10 minutes. Very time consuming and not effective in getting them to move faster.

I also got dinged. Do you know if that was an actual interview for their internship program, or just an informational interview? They came to OCI at my school but it was just for an informational interview.

I haven't heard from any of the PD offices I applied to. I'm starting to get antsy...

Same. Hopefully we'll hear from some today, but selections aren't due until next week....

I keep getting other random emails from school though (club announcements, clerkship updates, SBA events, etc.). My phone dings and I'm like "SOMETHING NOW?!!!" oh, no wait, just another blast email from school.

I only heard from one and it was a rejection. Hoping for some better news from the others, hopefully today.
