Recruitment Avenues
South Texas College of Law Houston (STCLH) proudly partners with a wide range of legal employers to support diverse hiring needs for academic-year internships, summer clerkships, and post-graduate permanent positions. Each year, hundreds of employers—including law firms of all sizes, government agencies, corporate legal departments, public interest organizations, and judicial chambers—leverage our On-Campus Interview (OCI) and Resume Collection Programs to connect with a talented, diverse, and practice-ready pool of law students and recent graduates.
Our OCI Programs are structured in multiple phases throughout the Fall and Spring to provide flexibility for employers to participate according to their internal hiring schedules. Whether you are seeking to fill summer, part-time, or full-time roles, our team will work with you to identify the most effective phase and format to meet your needs.
Employers may choose to participate in:
- Fall/Spring On-Campus Interviews, with full logistical support from the Career Resource Center; or
- Fall/Spring Resume Collections: For employers who prefer to manage their own interview scheduling outside of the formal OCI timeline, the CRC offers a Resume Collection option. Employers participating in a Resume Collection will receive application materials from interested candidates and may coordinate interviews independently, either virtually or at their own offices.
We welcome the opportunity to work with you to identify candidates who are well-aligned with your organization’s goals and culture.
Spring 2026 Phase I Program (interview dates 1/12/26 – 1/16/26) register here.
Spring 2026 Phase II Program (interview dates 2/9/26 – 2/13/26) register here.

South Texas College of Law Houston (STCLH) invites members of the judiciary to participate in its Judicial Resume Collection Program, an initiative designed to streamline the recruitment of qualified law student interns for the Fall, Spring, and Summer academic terms.
This program allows Judges to efficiently access application materials from interested STCLH students, who submit their credentials for consideration to specific participating chambers. Internship placements may be structured as paid, unpaid, or for academic credit, depending on the needs of the court and the student.
By participating, Judges may identify candidates who demonstrate a strong interest in public service and a commitment to the study and practice of law, while contributing to the professional development of future attorneys.
Registration for our 2025-2026 Judicial Resume Collection Program is now open!

Our Recruiting Mini-Session program offers a flexible, ad-hoc recruitment option tailored for legal employers with immediate or off-cycle hiring needs. This program is ideal for employers whose recruitment timelines fall outside our standard fall and spring sessions.
Modeled after our On-Campus Interview (OCI) process, the program enables employers to establish application requirements and employment credentials, ensuring complete control over candidate selection. Meanwhile, the Career Resource Center (CRC) manages the promotion, collection, and organization of application materials for a streamlined and efficient experience.

Guidelines and Policies:
Standard 305 of the American Bar Association states: A student may not work in excess of 20 hours per week while attending law school on a full time basis. Students are required to report the number of hours worked when registering for class. Employers should inquire as to full-time or part-time status on each student applicant and schedule work hours accordingly.
The use of Westlaw and Lexis is limited to educational purposes directly related to law school coursework. Any other use, including any use in connection with employment, is prohibited. Students could be subject to disciplinary actions for violation of this policy.
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Guidelines:
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that governs the minimum wage, youth employment, overtime pay and record-keeping for private businesses and state and federal employees. Compliance by employers with the FLSA is mandated by the federal government. Noncompliance with FLSA can result in hefty fines and payment of back wages due for up to three years. The Department of Labor has recently issued guidelines for employers in the private sector providing unpaid internships to assist them in determining whether the internships meet FLSA requirements. You can find more information at https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs71.htm. The requirements do not apply to government and public interest/service employers hiring volunteer/unpaid interns.
Non-Discrimination Statement:
South Texas College of Law Houston does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, age or handicap in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs or other school administered rights, privileges, programs, or activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. By posting with South Texas College of Law Houston, an employer agrees to abide by our Non-Discrimination Statement
Information Sessions
Employers are welcome to host information sessions as part of their recruitment strategy—either prior to or in conjunction with formal application processes. These sessions offer an excellent opportunity to:
- Introduce your organization to students
- Share details about your practice areas, culture, and hiring needs
- Build brand recognition and answer student questions in a more personal, interactive setting
Whether conducted virtually or on campus, information sessions help generate interest and increase visibility ahead of resume drops or interviews.
Tabling Events
Looking for a simple and effective way to connect with students in a high-traffic setting? Tabling events provide employers with the opportunity to host an informal presence on campus—whether in the main atrium, student lounge, or another central location—to share information about your organization, answer questions, and promote available opportunities.
Tabling is a great option if you’re looking to:
- Increase brand visibility among STCL Houston students
- Promote upcoming deadlines, events, or application opportunities
- Build early awareness and interest in your organization
We’ll help coordinate logistics and promote your presence to maximize student engagement.
To schedule or learn more about hosting an information session and/or tabling event, please contact Shantal Formia.
