References to include in application for lateral transfer

Post by Anonymous User » Mon Aug 12, 2024 9:28 pm

I'm starting to apply for lateral positions about 4 years out of law school. I'm currently working on an application that asks for three legal references, but I haven't yet told anyone at my current job that I'm looking elsewhere, so I would prefer not to provide any references my current employer at this point (when I haven't even gotten an interview, etc.). Would you put down old references, like law school teachers? Or is it okay to say that I can provide references on request, or will that look bad when the application instructions say to include references?
