At the request of judges, the OSCAR Program Office would like to offer a friendly reminder. Please remind your students to withdraw their applications when they accept a job offer or become unavailable. This will ensure judges and staff attorney offices can make the best use of their time when reviewing applications and setting up interviews.
Applicants can withdraw applications quickly and easily in one of two ways when logged into their OSCAR accounts.
1. Update Account Status to “Unavailable”
- Under My Profile in the main menu, select My Account.
- Scroll down to the “I am unavailable” field and select Yes.
- You will be prompted to a) enter a reason for your unavailability and b) specify the period of time you will be unavailable. Click Update to complete.
- OSCAR will display a warning message. Click OK to accept.
- All current outstanding applications will automatically be withdrawn.
2. Withdraw Indiviudal Applications
- Under My Applications in the main menu, select Clerkship Applications or Staff Attorney Applications.
- Locate the application(s) and click the Withdraw button in the Options column on the right.
- OSCAR will display a warning message. Click OK to withdraw the application.
- The withdrawn icon will be visible in the Application Status column of your applications.
