Philly started making offers two weeks ago for top candidates and is now making offers for other candidates. Fall class should be filled by January.Anonymous User wrote:Anyone hear form Philly, especially someone who didn't interview at the interview weekend?

Re: 3L Public Defender Applications
Recent grad who just passed the bar. I just applied to the Orange County Public Defender's Office and was notified I met minimum qualifications and will be scheduled for a Oral Interview / Structured Oral Examination in 2-3 weeks.
Is this basically a panel interview where they ask the same scripted questions to everyone and those who score the highest advance to subsequent/final interviews? Anything I should know or expect? Thanks

I feel like all of us going to Colorado should form a support GroupMe to keep ourselves busy until we hear more information. Currently filling out my bar exam application in the portal.

Re: 3L Public Defender Applications
I had no fam commitments and essentially applied to all places that hired pre-bar, and were in a UBE state I thought I would like living in. That came down to NYC offices, mass, Hennepin, Seattle, Colorado for me and a couple others.mornincounselor wrote:So how did y'all start figuring out where you wanted to apply to?

Def consider CoL and salary and the office’s representation model as well!

I looked at 1. who hired pre-Bar and 2. what the office culture was. a lot of checking websites and our alum network to see who was happy, what hiring processes were like, etc.mornincounselor wrote:So how did y'all start figuring out where you wanted to apply to?

And yeah, I'm pretty sure we're in for a long wait, re: placement.

I know this was posted about years ago, but any recent San Diego PD (County) folks have info on the third interview. Recently told I made it to the third round, wondering what to expect. I’m out of state, so it will be through Skype.

FYI for those who haven't heard yet: Bronx Defenders are not hiring this year for their Criminal Defense Practice. Crime is too low!
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
