Fall recruiting is the period during which many employers recruit Cornell Law students through regional job fairs and on-campus interviews. Fall recruiting includes the following:
- On and off campus visits from hundreds of employers, primarily large firms in major markets (collectively known as “visiting employers”).
- Primary focus is on 2L students for summer positions, which can lead to permanent post-graduate offers
- 20 - 30 minute “screening” or “initial” interviews.
- Regional job fairs and on-campus interviews (“OCI”) from early August through late September.
- August Job Fair in NYC, the largest interviewing event of the year, which includes employers from around the country.
- Students pay for travel and housing at regional job fairs.
After the initial interview, the employer will invite some students back to their offices for further interviews. This typically includes the following:
- A series of individual interviews with 4-6 attorneys.
- Lunch or dinner.
- Employer typically pays travel and accommodation costs.
