A message from the Dean of Fordham Law School will be sent to employers on the email request we send to that school.

Please be sure to read the policy carefully and follow the required instructions. The Policy includes information such as: (i) the duration of use of the Services and (ii) the number of visits. Please note that it may take a few weeks to arrange the service, so plan ahead.
