Top Law Schools

This seems to come up every so often in searching the threads, but am curious as to the best way to approach international arbitration/litigation/trade jobs at OCI. As expected, my CDO is worthless in advice on this, and is just pushing local satellite offices that hire.

I go to a T20-30 school(top 10-15% ish, 0 debt upon graduation), am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, worked in LatAm doing corporate work before law school. From what I gather, firms that have these practice areas tend to focus on T-14 schools, and the satellite offices coming to my campus are not going to be the offices focused on this region.

Any suggestions? I am researching here and on the firm websites, but they seem to be pretty generic. I am planning on mass mailing offices in Latin America for the big firms, and Miami, where I have ties. I do not like NYC. Or is this a waste of my time this summer?

Big firms' offices in LatAm don't really do much lit or arbitration. You might want to check out http://www.curtis.com/.
