I cannot find anywhere where this acronym is defined in terms of law school, can anybody please tell me what this damned thing means?

Usually conducted in earnest at the beginning of your 2L year. You interview on campus, and then if they're interested they'll call you back for an interview at their headquarters.

Darn it. I don't want to compete with a wolverine for the T14. He'll get a Under-Represented Mammal bump and I'll end up at Cooley.

A lot of UG don't have OCI. I don't even know if mine did because I left after fall semester rather than the normal spring. No one ever mentioned it. I learned what OCI was in law school. Likewise, my fiancee never heard of it in UG either.

Nonsense. Work hard and study hard and you might make a second tier school.

We had more of a career fair with interviews on campus the next day, so not really an OCI as I understand it. Sometimes, the automated system would tell you that your should sign up for an interview based on your grades and major, but normally it was you submit a request to the employer through the careers website, and then the employer picked who they would interview on campus (So maybe this was a "OCI").

*By OCI, I mean the traditional way done by law schools, not necessarily any interview done on campus.

And have you ever gotten in a competition with a wolverine. Hard to study with gashes across your eyes and face

This sounds exactly like my UG. Never heard of anyone referring to interviews as OCI until I started wasting away my days here on TLS.

I was going to make a smart-ass sarcastic comment about Cooley, Rankings and Scholarships.

Then I decided on just "No."
