DEFERRED ASSOCIATE PROGRAM The Deferred Associate Program is open to law school graduates who have been offered a job by a firm but whose employment start dates have been deferred. It enables graduates to gain experience working for the City while honing practical skills that are directly relevant to their private law firm careers.

Placements are available in most of our 17 legal divisions, with most positions available in litigating divisions where ample courtroom experience is available. Most volunteer attorneys would be responsible for their own caseload. “ At the Law Department, I gained handson training and the skills to litigate a case from start to ?nish. This enabled me to begin as an associate with a foundation in managing client relationships, and the con?dence to interact with opposing counsel and the court.
