Interview Programs
Duke Law students have been charting their employment course and laying the foundation for their job search since the first day of law school.
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 offers several opportunities for employers to engage Duke Law students in their recruitment efforts.
Fall OCI
Duke Law’s OCI program consists of three segments for interviewing rising 2Ls and 3Ls. Segment I will be held July 27 – July 30, 2020 at the Washington Duke Inn. Segment II and Government & Public Interest OCI will be held at the law school, with interviews starting on August 24, 2020. Registration for 2020 OCI will open at 12pm ET on February 17, 2020 via Symplicity. Learn more about Fall OCI here.
Resume Collects
If you are unable to attend OCI but would like to collect applications from rising 2L and rising 3L students at Duke Law, you may register for a summer resume collect under the OCI tab in Symplicity starting in late February each year. Summer resume collects are addressed by students as part of OCI, with deadlines available in June and July.
Resume Collect packets will be available after 1pm ET on the day of your selected deadline. There is no fee to participate. Learn more about resume collects here.

Duke Law CPDC and the Alumni & Development Office partner with regional groups and employers each summer to host networking receptions for alumni, students and employer representatives in cities across the U.S. This is a great opportunity to connect with current Duke Law students and Duke alumni.
