How the Auction Works
In order to bid, you must register online at https://apps.law.nyu.edu/pilcauction/. This will
provide you with a bidder number. This can be done before the auction, or if you have not
registered online prior to the auction, you may fill out the above online form at the registration
tables in Kushner Lounge (next to the grand staircase in the Vanderbilt Hall entrance).
Silent Auction
When bidding on an item, please write your name, bidder number, and the amount of your bid in
the appropriate increment on the bid sheet associated with the item. You must have a bidder
number for your bid to be considered valid.
For certain items, if you would like to guarantee that you win an item, you can use the
Guaranteed Buy-Out Option. At the bottom of certain bid sheets is a line labeled “guaranteed
buy-out.” The guaranteed buy-out price may be more than the value of the item, but if you
choose to use this option, you are guaranteed to win that special item you’ve got your eye on.
(This also means that if the guaranteed buy-out line is already filled out, the bidding on that item
is closed.) And remember, every penny that you spend goes to support NYU students doing
important work through their public interest summer internships!
When the announcement is made that the silent auction has closed (at 8pm), the highest bid at
that time will be the winning bid. Winners will be notified by e-mail.
Raffle
At any time during the silent auction you can a buy raffle ticket for $1 ($10 for 12), which you
can apply to any of the items on the Raffle list in this Program (look for the raffle boxes during
the silent auction). Raffle results will be announced during the live auction – you must be present
at the live auction to win!
Live Auction
If you wish to place a bid, please raise your card so that the auctioneer can read your bidder
number. Please keep your card up until the auctioneer recognizes you. If you are the highest
bidder for an item, an auction representative will approach you to confirm your bid. If you win
the item, the credit card you used at the time of registration will be charged the amount you bid.
Redemption of Won Items
All winners will be notified via email as to pick-up instructions in the days following the auction.
Please note: All auction gift certificates expire on March 1, 2016, unless otherwise noted. All

LLM-002 - Tequila Corralejo 99,000 Horas
Donated by Lourdes Olvera-Marshall, Associate Director of the NYU Law Office of Graduate
Affairs
Light gold color. Bold aromas of char-roasted pecans,
river stones, grilled fruits, and caramel with a flat, dry-yetfruity medium body and a smooth, bland, brisk, cream,
peppery spices, grass, and driftwood finish with papery
tannins and moderate oak. A wispy añejo with a strong
barrel influence.
As Lourdes explains, “Mexicans don't take "shots" of
tequila; they sip it as wine, and generally accompany it
with lime juice. It can also be drunk as a Paloma, a
beverage made of tequila, Fresca soda, and lime juice, or
as a Charro Negro with coke and lime juice. It's rare to
find Margaritas in Mexico, and Mexicans say that the best
ones are made in the USA!”
