Navigating the Recruiting Timeline—What is the new normal?

WATCH PROGRAM

DESCRIPTION

Recruiting is changing fast. Advice from last year may no longer apply. And advice relevant to one firm may be completely wrong for another firm.  How can you navigate this new early recruiting process? Can you opt out? Should you opt out? My most lawyerly answer is -- it depends.

Two experts join me to discuss early recruiting, its benefits, and its drawbacks. Turns out, the process is not as scary as the stories going around.

• What is early recruiting?
• Why do law firms do it?
• What are the benefits to the student? What are the potential challenges?
• How many firms should you do early recruiting with?
• How do you decide which firms you want to apply to as part of early recruiting?
• What can you do to learn about firms during your 1L year so you feel equipped to decide?
• What happens if a student waits for OCI?
