What does the hive here think about Cleary's "CIP"? If you apply and receive an offer, you need to accept it before OCI.

Any word on how much of their class is filled through CIP vis a vis OCI?

Multiple firms? Or just one? Radio silence here among myself and colleagues (also T6, top 20%, etc.).

Debevoise asked me what practice I was interested in and when I told them lit they said to bid them at OCI lol

Anyone had any Boston pre-oci offers or interviews?

[Anonymous User]

Just as a point of reference. T6 top 10% have pre-OCI interviews with Skadden, S&C, Weil, and Latham.

Did you network first or just fill out the website / send to a recruiter?

I told 'em I wanted corp in the cover letter and got the "bid us at OCI" response. T6, top ~20%. Guess I'm not good enough!

Can confirm Pre-OCI interviews in DC at my HYS.

I know a friend at my T-25 who also has a NY callback due from a V100 that turned him down for a 1L SA...he is at another firm currently doing an SA.

I've sent out Pre-OCI apps myself but am unsure what my chances are. I'm slightly below median at my T-25 (rounds up to 3.2), but am currently doing a market-paying SA at an AmLaw100 firm and have secured a paid in-house part-time legal internship at a well-known MNC for the fall semester. Still waiting on journal and moot court results. Not an URM, but worked for a year, have an Ivy League master's and a STEM undergrad with ~3.9 GPAs for both, and am fortunately attending law school with a full-tuition scholarship. I am happy at my current firm, and the only reason I am applying elsewhere is because it does not have an office in Northern California, my desired market. I am also open to NYC, where my firm does have an office but does not take entry-level attorneys.

Has anyone done the Latham behavioral thing/is there a thread on it anywhere? Cannot find anything in the search function

anyone seeing any movement today...?

[Anonymous User]

unrelated to above but does S&C do pre-OCI at all or is that a wasted app?

also wondering the same about S&C NY...
anyone know if Skadden DC has started moving yet?

[Anonymous User]

Does anybody have a CB with DPW or PW? I have a CB set up with a V15 and a V5. I am interested in those two as well, but have heard radio silence from recruiting.

Yes DPW is moving on NYC callbacks. Started at least last week

Re: Skadden, I applied last week and got an email asking me to fill out a diversity survey this morning. Significantly above median at H.
