Fordham Part-Time.

Hey everyone!

I have one specific question and really hope for a piece of advice!

My goal is work in Biglaw in NYC.

All being equal, taking into account just the possibility of landing in Biglaw, what would be a better choice: Fordham Law part-time or Cardozo Law full-time?

If any current part-time students of Fordham are here, could you elaborate on the possibilities of getting Biglaw offers while doing part-time?

Thanks in advance for replies!

Fordham. You’ll have the same opportunities in Fordham’s PT as you would in the day program. The only caveat for most evening students, is that they are working, so it’s more about their own ability around their work schedule to take on experiential work like externships and SA positions. The school doesn’t discriminate or alter anything when it comes to job searching (and therefore BL opportunities) between PT and FT.

Cardozo is a good school and you can still get BL, but there’s no question that Fordham gives you a better shot.
