Has anyone ever done this? 1) gained transfer acceptance, 2) scored an offer from OCI at the new school, and 3) withdrew from transfer school after getting the firm to assure them that they wouldn't pull the offer if they went back to their 1L school?
This would be a crazy ballsy move, but if a person had multiple offers and knew they were going to turn down some of them ... this could be a legit maneuver to save some serious $$$.

Most schools also make it clear that you would be committing serious honor code violations by doing something like this after you sign up for OCI. The type of honor code violations that would make a firm perfectly justified in pulling your offer if they wanted to, which they probably would do.
Also, it's lying to your employer on a job application. If you know this is your plan, you can't in good faith say "I go to MVP" without ever setting foot in an MVP classroom or intending to set foot in one either. Lying on a job application is also a pretty good way to get your offer rescinded. I know I wouldn't want a person this willing to deceive me as an employee.

Wouldn't that require an offer on the spot?

Yeah, this too. My understanding is that by the time you get a 2L SA offer from a firm, you're well into the schoolyear (what with callbacks and everything).guano wrote:Wouldn't that require an offer on the spot?

I don't think any firms would keep the offer. Most of them probably want to tell their clients "hey, don't worry. We got you. Your attorney went to Prestigious Law School X." They don't want to say "hey, don't worry. Your attorney was accepted as a transfer student to Prestigious Law School X but then backed out last second to save some money."

You are a few steps ahead of me. How do you get OCI at the new school before you enroll?
