On-Campus Interviews (OCI)
The University of New Mexico School of Law holds two On-Campus Interview (OCI) programs each year—one in the Fall and one in the Spring. These OCI programs provide a formal and structured opportunity for law firms, public interest organizations, and government agencies to visit the Law School and interview students and recent alumni for summer and post-graduate positions.
The Fall OCI Program is typically held in August. Fall OCI will accommodate employers from the private sector as well as government and non-profit entities. The Spring OCI Program is typically held in March. Spring OCI is limited to participating employers only from public interest, government or judicial chambers employers. During fall and spring OCIs, the Student and Career Services Office coordinates collecting application materials and setting interview schedules. The OCI programs are managed through CONNECT, a web-based management system powered by 12twenty.
