I am not familiar with PSLawNet.  What is its value to my organization?
PSLawNet, a nonprofit project of NALP, is a FREE public interest job database.  Students and alumni at over 200 law schools have free access to PSLawNet through their schools' subscriptions.  Your job postings - whether for internships, fellowships, staff positions or executive-level positions - can be viewed by thousands of public-interest job seekers at no charge to you.

I would like to work with a law student to secure funding and host them through a postgraduate fellowship.  What do I do?
You can post this announcement on PSLawNet just as if it were a regular job listing.  Select "Fellowship - Sponsor" as the Job Type. 

Can I accept job applications directly through PSLawNet?
Yes, this new feature is designed to let PSLawNet serve as a one-stop recruiting shop for employer organizations.  When posting a job, you can elect to receive applications directly through PSLawNet.  They will be stored in an inbox that appears when you log into the site.  You may review them at your convenience.  If you do not want to receive applications through PSLawNet, simply do not use this tool and job seekers will not be able to submit applications directly.

For more information on how to use PSLawNet, please reference our Employer User Guide, or contact us at 202-296-0076 or pslawnet@nalp.org. 

Can I directly assist my students/alumni who have password problems?
Yes!  You may change your students' or alums' passwords for them after you have logged into PSLawNet.  Once logged in, you will be taken to a personal homepage.  From there, you may use the "User Options" menu to search your student/alumni user accounts and reset their passwords. 

Can I search for employer organization profiles and job opportunities just like my students can?
Yes!  Once logged in, your User Options menu will allow you to search the PSLawNet databases and perform other tasks.

Do I still need to share my administrative username/password with other colleagues in my office?
No!  You may create multiple user accounts for your colleagues to log in as law school administrators.  Once you are logged in, the User Options menu will allow you to "Add New Users."  

In need of a PSLawNet informational brochure to share with employers, students and alums?  Please keep in mind that it is a double-sided tri-fold (for printing purposes), and is best printed in color.
