#Law Firms - OCI

Michigan Law has long enjoyed renown as a launching pad to the nation's premier private law firms; it is among the top law schools in placing the largest percentage of graduates in the most prestigious national law firms. More than 475 domestic and international law firms, including branch offices, hired our 2010-2014 graduates. More specifically, 277 went to New York City, 181 to Chicago, 101 to Washington, D.C. 20 to Boston, 44 to Los Angeles, and 67 to the California Bay Area.

    On-Campus Interviewing (OCI)

    During Early Interview Week (EIW) in August 2014, over 555 offices from 36 states, Washington, D.C. and five foreign countries conducted over 4,600 interviews with our students. Approximately 300 of our 2L and 3L students participated in this program. In addition to EIW, we offer a smaller on-campus program in the fall. Beyond on-campus interview opportunities, over 2,100 other offices from throughout the United States contacted the Law School last year to post job openings and to request student resumes. Nearly all of the American Lawyer Top 100 firms, the American Lawyer Global 100 firms, and the American Lawyer list of Best Places to Work firms visit the Law School or request resumes of Michigan Law students.

    Early Interview Week (EIW) 2015  is scheduled for Tuesday - Friday, Aug. 4 -7, in the Lawyers Club at the Law School.
