Fall 2023 OCR Bidding NOW OPEN

Fall 2024 OCR BIDDING IS NOW OPEN. Bidding deadlines are rolling depending on interview date and are as early as JUNE 30TH. Bidding deadlines are rolling based on interview dates. Please pay close attention to the bidding deadline for each employer.

The opportunities presented are once-in-a-legal-career and should not be ignored or dismissed; they are customarily the primary process through which many of these employers hire entry level lawyers (often before graduation from law school). Preparation and exploration—both necessary steps—begin now. Here are the next steps towards participation in the Fall Recruitment Program:

1. Review the Stetson Law Recruitment Program (OCR) Toolkit for the detailed overview and important definitions and facts.

2. Meet with a coach from the Office of Career and Professional Development to:

a. discuss your priorities and plan your strategy;

b. review your resume and cover letter;

c. If you don’t yet have a coach, choose anyone you like, and if you do have a coach, but you want a different one, reach out to whomever you’d like to meet with. Best practice would be to email a copy of your documents in Word when you reach out. Find us all HERE.

3. Update your resume. Add your planned or ongoing summer job, academic, or other learning activities. If you are still seeking summer opportunities, review the Job Postings along with pro bono project listings on Symplicity. If you need help, reach out to your chosen coach.

What is the Job Fair: Formerly known as SEMJF, SELSC is the Southeastern Law School Consortium Job Fair, a legal interview program bringing together employers from all across the country – one of the oldest and largest events of its kind. Find out more on the SELSC website: https://selscon.org/

Who may participate: ANY rising 2L, 3L, or recent graduate. I repeat, recent graduates are eligible! SELSC registration is open to all applicants – please note a resume and a Candidate Statement are required for every application. The prompt for your Candidate Statement: Discuss your academic, professional and life experiences, focusing on your ability to persevere, overcome challenges, and contribute to the legal profession. The Deadline to register for the Southeastern Law School Consortium Job Fair (SELSC) is Thursday, May 9, 2024.

Why: Look at the list of employers who participated last year.

If you are a 1L or 2L, this is an early start, and consolidated opportunity to connect with firms and employers looking at 2025 summer associate positions, or early 2025 hiring. In addition, the exposure to regional and national firms and employers in a single setting is unsurpassed.
If you are a 3L looking for work, there are employers here looking for you – take advantage of this. Do not preselect out of registering because the Bar is in close proximity – apply and adjust your study schedule if you are selected for an interview (We can work jointly with Bar Prep to help you with this)
- Last year there were over 30 employers committed to participating who are looking for recent grads, across industry sectors. Multiple graduates from last year’s class secured employment through this job fair.
If you want to look outside of Florida – these employers are hiring nation-wide.
If you want to clerk, there may be judicial interview opportunities.
If you want big law, big law will be here and hiring nation-wide.
If you want advocacy, there are opportunities for you to explore.
State Attorneys, Public defenders, legal aid and other non-profits – all here.
Business and transaction positions – yes!

But I have a job (For 1L summer, or 2L summer)

Register and apply anyway. This is a fantastic depth and breadth of employers, ALL in one Location. You can network, explore opportunities, and gather information.

How to Register:

Here is the easy part. At this point, to Register, all we need from you is completion of the SELSC Intent form. You must register by THURSDAY, MAY 9^th.

We provide these details to the SELSC organizing committee, who will follow up with further details on application procedures, including a username and password to access the SELSC specific Symplicity system.
