UT Law OCI ‘Great for Employers’
August 26, 2009Above the Law has a very telling story about a law students experience at UT OCI. To quote their source:
I am walking up the stairs to get to my OCI appointment. I overhear some interviewers from various firms talking to each other as I hold the door for them and their heavy bags of firm-branded crap.One lady says to another, “Did you get a lot more applicants from UT this year?” Lady 2 says, “No, it was the usual number for us.” Lady 1 replies, “I had 200 applicants from UT alone for the 15 total spots we will fill this year.” Lady 2 says, “I think it’s gonna be a great year for employers!” They all laugh.
Seems like the economists are all signaling the end of the recession this week, but the pain might be felt in the legal industry for some time to come if the above story is any indication of OCI’s around the country.
