Speaking of which, what is everyone else seeing as far as 1L OCI turnout? I know this isn't necessarily indicative of much (other than the already known fact that most places don't hire 1Ls), but I'm still kinda curious.
We had only 5 firms, 2 govt, 2 resume collections.

14 firms for 1L OCI
6 resume collects

At our public interest 1L OCI (actually a big fair done with a few other schools in the area) we had 29 public interest/govt employers interviewing and 6 other employers of the same type collecting resumes.
At our own 1L OCI we had 6 firms (small/mid size, regional), 9 govt, and 3 others all interviewing.
We just got the results of our own 1L bidding back today - what are the legitimate chances of an interview or two turning into an actual job offer? I feel that it's pretty competitive and don't have high hopes.

Currently, I have an interview with a boutique firm in my desired area of concentration but the chances of me getting it are slim (1 spot and I'm sure they're doing OCI at all the peer schools). So my other options as of now are DA's offices and USAO offices.
Would you guys take DA/USAO over research with a prof? I figure being an RA would help me boost my writing/research skills. I managed to do surprisingly well in LRW, and actually really enjoyed the entire process. I did well enough in a class that I'll be "invited" to apply to be an RA.

I would take USAO over pretty much anything.

If firm doesn't work out (and it probably won't), I'm hoping for USAO.

First of all, I'm not even sure if I can even get any LORs from my profs because I have no grades yet and don't really know any of them that well. Secondly, it just doesn't seem worth it to go out and get a specific LOR for a job I probably won't get anyway. Are people actually applying to these jobs?

Did it say from law school professors? In all my applications I included a reference list (without any LS professors) with numbers, e-mails, and so forth. I know for certain they contacted them. I don't know what yours was, but it may be LORs from others.
