The Law School Toolbox Podcast: Tools for Law Students from 1L to the Bar Exam, and Beyond

Today, we’re talking with a former law firm recruiter about the basics of OCI, or on-campus interviewing. OCI is the process by which most large law firms, and some medium-sized law firms and public interest organizations recruit their summer associates and hire full-time lawyers. There are many steps to the process, and it is time-consuming and can be energetically draining, so we’re discussing what you can expect and how you can put your best foot forward with an experienced BigLaw recruiter. If you’re planning to participate in your school’s OCI program, tune in! In this episode, we discuss: What a summer associate position is, and why they are highly sought after The basic process of initial interviews and callback interviews Strategically bidding for an interview What law firms are really looking for How to prepare for an initial interview, what to expect, and what to wear Callback logistics: What happens in a callback interview? What if you have to travel? How should geography play into your interviewing decisions?

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're talking with Mark Cohen, founder and CEO of Legal Mosaic, about what law schools should be teaching but aren't. Mark’s experience in the legal industry is vast and varied, and, in this podcast, he offers his unique perspective on the current state of the legal profession, as well as what may lie ahead in the future. In light of these changing circumstances, what should you demand from your legal education that you’re not getting? In this episode, we discuss: Legal process outsourcing (LPO) and technology, and how they’re changing the delivery of legal services The distinction between legal services and legal products The weakening dominance of big law firms and the emergence of ancillary career options for new lawyers What they’re not teaching you in law school that’s vital for success as a lawyer The disconnect between doctrinal law and meaningful, practical experience The need for project management skills and collaboration in a legal practice Skills and qualities that could set you apart as a new lawyer What does the lawyer of the future look like?
