MSU College of Law hosts various options for on-campus interviewing (OCI) throughout the school year. In addition to our traditional interview week in the summer for summer associate positions, we offer opportunities in the fall semester (September through late October) and during the spring semester (mid-January through mid-April), which are perfect opportunities for summer law clerk positions and for employers seeking current 3L students for entry-level associate positions. We aim to be flexible to meet your needs and timeline.
Employers can connect with our current students through any of the options below:
- In-Person Interviews: Work with the Career Services Office (CSO) to manage your recruitment process. Employers may select potential dates for interviews on campus.
- Create an account in CASE to register, request a date, and place a job posting. After this, the CSO will collect all application materials until the posting closes. Employers are then given access to students' application materials and pre-select all candidates.
- The CSO will create and coordinate a schedule and register your candidates based on your chosen date and times
- Virtual Interviews: Same services as above; CASE provides a portal through which virtual interview links can be housed.
- Resume Collect: Post opportunities with your organization in CASE. Our office will collect materials from candidates and transmit an application packet to you via email. You independently arrange interviews with students. Email your job posting directly and request a “Resume Collect.”
- Direct Sends: Students view your posting in CASE and send applications directly to you on a rolling basis. You contact applicants directly to arrange interviews. Post your position by completing an online form or emailing your posting to career@law.msu.edu.
- Informational Programs/Virtual Open Houses: Approximately 50% of our students are interested in working outside of Michigan. If your firm or organization is hosting an online information session or open house, we welcome your invitations for our students to attend! Please send event information to fanningcarl@law.msu.edu.
We ask that current and prospective employers review the Guidelines for Employers Regarding Recruitment (PDF).
