- Event Date:
- July 31-August 4, 2023
- Location:
- Flo Recruit
For Students
Rising 2Ls, 3Ls, and recent grads may apply (submit bids) at any time as there is no advantage to bidding early. If you choose to participate in the Summer Interview Program, it is important to keep in mind that this program is just one avenue for conducting your job search as many participating employers tend to have fairly established hiring criteria.
We encourage you to submit your resume and cover letter for review by a career counselor prior to bidding by sending them to cso-resumes@law.utexas.edu.
If you need to cancel an interview, please submit your cancellation online.
