TEXAS Interview Program
The University of Oklahoma College of Law Office of Professional & Career Development will host its inaugural "OU Law Goes to Texas Interview Program" (Texas Interview Program) on Friday, August 14, 2009, at the Crowne Plaza in Dallas, Texas. This is a wonderful opportunity for employers to interview second and third year students from an outstanding law school that boasts a diverse student body. Because many of our students have personal, academic and familial ties to Texas, we think that employers will find the Texas Interview Program to be a valuable part of their fall recruitment schedules.
