This portion of the application will ask you to list all employment and unemployment information for the last ten years or since age 18, whichever period is shorter. In addition, it also asks that you list all law-related employment you have ever had.
Notes:
Employment - In this context, employment encompasses all part-time and full-time employment, including self-employment, externships, internships (paid and unpaid), clerkships, military service, volunteer work, and temporary employment.
Unemployment - Provide a brief, but specific, description of your activities while unemployed (e.g., seeking employment, preparing for law school, attending <school name>, vacation, studying for bar exam).
Employment References - If an employer is no longer in operation, or you were self-employed or employed by a relative, provide the name and contact information of a verifying reference. Do not list yourself or a relative as a verifying reference.
Details - Indicate if the address provided is a company headquarters or if you worked remotely. Provide other information that may assist in verification of this period of employment.
Complete a separate entry for each position and for each period of unemployment. Provide the current mailing address (street address or PO Box) and telephone number for all employers and third party references. To avoid processing delays, confirm all contact information with present and prior employers.
For periods of unemployment, provide a short description of your activities (e.g., attending law school, studying for the bar exam, seeking employment, etc.). Responses such as "unemployed" or "not working" are not acceptable.
Cross-check employment locations with the residence locations you provided and account for any discrepancies (e.g., worked remotely).
