Recruitment Programs

The On-Campus Interview (OCI) program connects legal employers who are recruiting for summer and/or permanent positions with GW Law’s talented 2L, 3L and LLM students. While the majority of employer participants are large law firms; other employers represented include government agencies, public interest and legal services offices, and district attorneys' offices.   

Over 300 employers recruit at GW Law each year through on-campus interviews (OCI), regional interview programs, and online resume collections. More than 600 law students participate in OCI, generating upwards of 3,000 interviews. 

Employers unable to attend on-campus or regional interview programs can utilize our Job Listings. Through these listings, employers have the flexibility to set their own deadlines, retrieve application materials at their convenience. And contact students directly to coordinate interviews at their office.

Below you will find more information and registration instructions for this year's programs. Should you require further information, please contact Mikaela McRae or Liza Ramirez by email or at 202.994.7340.
