As of Monday, June 1, 2015, rising second-year law students can register for OSCAR applicant accounts with read-only access. Read-only access accounts will allow rising second-years to view and research clerkship and staff attorney positions, create folders and save positions to folders, upload application materials such as resumes and writing samples to the system, create online grade sheets, identify recommenders, and access extensive online resources. Rising second-year law students will gain full system access on August 1, 2015, when they will be able to build online applications and submit them for consideration to judges and staff attorney offices who have available position listings.

Applicants who currently have OSCAR accounts will not be affected by this change and will retain full system access.

New applicants can review the online tip sheets, online help , videos, and the quick reference guide to familiarize themselves with OSCAR.
