Application & Interview Programs
Our students are counseled closely to define their goals and to think about their skills, knowledge, and passions and how they can fit into a fulfilling professional life. The Career and Professional Development Center and the Office of Public Interest & Pro Bono offer many opportunities for employers to engage Duke Law students in their recruitment efforts throughout the year.
Law Firm Summer Associate Recruitment
Duke Law 2L Virtual OCI offers an efficient screening process for law firm hiring for 2L Summer Associate programs. The 2027 program (interviews for the Class of 2029 for Summer 2028 opportunities) will be conducted virtually via Flo on January 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th, 2027 (M/T/W/F). 2L OCI interviews are scheduled through a 100% lottery process.
Our Post-OCI Resume Collect session offers a centralized process for law firms seeking application materials in late January from 1L students for 2L Summer Associate programs. More information in the 2027 session will be available soon.
To request Direct Applications from 1L students for law firm 1L or 2L Summer Associate Programs, we recommend that employers post via Flo Forward. Please note that employers may not solicit applications from the 1L class prior to October 1.
