Accepting employment through RAP is a commitment to work for at least one year. Do not apply to RAP as a fallback while waiting for another job. For example, if you plan to apply for the Public Defender's or District Attorney's office prior to the end of the Resident Associate year, do not apply to RAP. In addition to other program benefits, employers participate and hire Resident Associates on the basis of the RAP one-year commitment (other details and terms of employment will be finalized between the Resident Associate and her/his firm). Your failure to keep your commitment impacts the success of the program. If you have any questions about this year-long commitment, ask your counselor.
Subject to RAP Employer requirements, RAP Participants may apply to all, any, or none of the employers participating in RAP. The Career Development Office will collect RAP Participants' applications on behalf of employers, but the employers will make all interviewing and hiring decisions. Loyola Law School does not contribute to the salary and is not in an employer-employee relationship with the participating graduate or Resident Associate. RAP Participants do notcontact RAP Employers directly; all applications should be submitted via Simplicity
All statements in this registration form and other application materials submitted to the Career Development Office and participating RAP Employers should be true to the best of your knowledge, and reflect realistic projections based on information reasonably available. Any material misstatements or omissions may be cause for disqualification from RAP, or result in termination of participation in RAP.
