The Career Services Office invites employers to conduct interviews at the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University during the fall and spring semesters. The on-campus recruitment program, known as OCI, allows employers to meet with a large number of candidates during a relatively short period of time. The service is open to all employers - private law firms, judges, government agencies, corporations, academic institutions, and public interest organizations.

Interviews may be scheduled on-campus at the law school, at the employer's office, or virtually, according to the employer's preference.
