Can anyone tell me what the general timeline is if you get an offer to return from a first-half 1L SA (think Texas and other southern markets)? I'm wondering if firms usually give you enough time to do OCI before the offer expires.
ETA: fwiw, the firm in at first half gives offers within a week of your final day.

I'm in the exact same situation as you. 1L first-half SA in Texas. I'd like to do OCI and then give the firm a response if I get offered.

In a related question, what do we tell firms at OCI if we get an offer from our 1L firm to return 2L summer for a few weeks? I've heard such splitting is acceptable but I don't know how to approach it.

I'd probably just say you have an offer to return and leave it at that. Wouldn't approach splitting until you have an offer (unless it's a 6 week firm).Anonymous User wrote:In a related question, what do we tell firms at OCI if we get an offer from our 1L firm to return 2L summer for a few weeks?

Isn't it NALP guidelines that 1Ls have until November to respond to offers?Anonymous User wrote:Can anyone tell me what the general timeline is if you get an offer to return from a first-half 1L SA (think Texas and other southern markets)?

Don't think my firm is NALP.

Re: 1L SAs first-half offers
I faced that situation last year and my firm kept the offer open post OCI no problem. All they said was to let them know as soon as I could because it would impact their OCI 2L hiring. But it was a "please be nice and tell us asap" not "we need an answer by X date."
