Rolling Deadlines: At the top of each “Applications by Deadline” Table (one for 1Ls, 2Ls, 3Ls & LLMs, JLCs, Recent
Grads) is a list of programs that hire on a “Rolling Basis.” This means the employer accepts and reviews applications as
received, and may make hiring decisions on this timeframe. If you have an interest in such a program (and would
seriously consider an offer, if extended), review the “Rolling Deadlines” list on a regular basis.
