I'm not sure if I should mention it in my cover letter or not, thanks!

seconding the question - i've come in for a few interviews, which ended up being awkward because i'm not in a position to start anytime soon with the bar coming up...

are you asking if firms are looking to hire a recent May graduate? I know some small firms hire "law clerks" to do some mundane tasks and may consider bumping up the salary a little bit upon passing the bar, but I've never heard of mid-size to big firms hiring a non-lateral, non-OCI fresh graduates. it makes more sense for them to hire a candidate already eligible to practice law if there is even a space for them.
