President Trump's government hiring freeze is negatively impacting law students' job prospects. Many third-year law students have seen permanent job offers revoked and summer internships canceled, while government agencies are opting out of law school recruitment events. A significant number of agencies withdrew from a recent public interest career fair at NYU Law School, which previously attracted over 1,700 job seekers. This situation poses serious concerns for students' future careers, as many may never become practicing attorneys due to these lost opportunities. In contrast, private law firms are actively seeking to recruit these students.
Nikia Gray, NALP's executive director, states, 'For some of these students, the fact that these jobs were pulled may make the difference of whether they ever become a practicing attorney or not.'
