On-Campus Interviews

 

On Campus Recruiting at Georgia Law 

 

Legal employers from throughout the country come to the Georgia Law campus to interview students for summer and post-graduate employment opportunities.  Employers interview throughout the year at Georgia, but typically cluster around each August-November for 2Ls, 3Ls and LLMs and each February-April for 1Ls, 2Ls, 3Ls and LLMs.

 

 

Programs & Process

 

For all programs:  Employers participating in on-campus interviews pre-screen applicants.  This means that employers receive, in advance, the application materials from interested students, and may then select the students they wish to interview.  A list of selected students is forwarded to the Legal Career Services Office and the interview schedule is arranged prior to the visit.

 

Fall OCI

 

What: A competitive on-campus interview season that begins in August and ends in November.  LCS makes every effort to bring employers on to campus for interviewing, but employers ultimately decide when and if they will participate in the fall OCI season. 1Ls are not eligible for fall OCI.

When: August-November

How: Students will apply to Fall OCI opportunities via Symplicity and on a rolling basis.  Interview dates will be posted along with the OCI announcement.  Interview selections will be available one week prior to the scheduled interview date.  At that time, students should either schedule or decline the interview through Symplicity.

 

Spring OCI

 

What: A competitive on-campus interview season that begins in late February and ends in April.  LCS makes every effort to bring employers on to campus for interviewing, but employers ultimately decide when and if they will participate in the spring OCI season.  Employers may interview any class year during spring OCI.
