Our interview process is designed to find the best and brightest candidates who will both fit our work culture and bring something new to the firm. Outstanding academic credentials, experience with moot court or a law journal and a strong connection to Ohio are all desirable attributes, but we do not subscribe to a limited view of the ideal candidate.
OCI
During August, September and October we participate in the on-campus interview process at numerous law schools, such as The Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland-Marshall, University of Michigan, University of Notre Dame and Northern Kentucky University. We also participate in the NBLSA - Midwest Region Minority Recruitment Conference and the Tri-State Diversity Recruiting Program. If we do not visit your school, please send us your resume if you are interested in practicing law in Cleveland or Cincinnati.
CALL BACKS
After your first interview, you may be asked to visit our office for a second interview. We conduct “call back” interviews during the months of August and September. In Cleveland, we conduct an approximately 30 minute group interview where you will meet with four to eight attorneys at one time. This process saves valuable time for both you and our attorneys. Most importantly, it gives you valuable insight as to how the members of the firm interact. Following this interview, you will have the opportunity to meet with one or two practice group leaders and join an associate for a tour of the firm. Following the tour, you will join a small group of partners and associates for dinner, providing a further opportunity to ask questions about the firm, the practice of law, and any other topic of interest. We normally contact you with an employment decision within a few weeks of your "call back" interview.
