Application & Scheduling Deadlines

Students must have a copy of their resume uploaded onto UT Law Symplicity before selecting an interview slot. Priority is given to 1Ls. If interview slots remain available, the CSO will notify 2Ls and 3Ls that they may register as well. Be sure to sign-up early as interviews are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • Thursday-Monday, January 5-11, 2012: 1Ls may schedule one interview during early registration, which begins at noon (Central) on UT Law Symplicity.
  • Monday, January 9, 2012: Starting at noon, 1Ls can schedule two more interviews for a total of three mock interviews (space permitting).
  • Wednesday, January 11, 2012: 2Ls and 3Ls may schedule interviews at 5 p.m. on UT Law Symplicity if any slots remain available.
  • Thursday, January 12, 2012: Scheduling closes at 5 p.m. or when all interview slots are filled--whichever comes first.
  • January 18-20 and 23-24, 2012: Mock Interview Program

How to Schedule a Mock Interview

You must first upload a resume to UT Law Symplicity under the [Documents] tab before scheduling a mock interview.
  1. Log in to UT Law Symplicity.
  2. Click on the [Interview Programs] tab on the top navigation bar. See step-by-step screenshots.
  3. Click on the [Employers/Applications] tab.
  4. Filter the employer list by selecting [Mock Interview Program 2012] from the [Session] drop-down menu.
  5. IGNORE the "Applications Column" and the "Apply" button at all times during the scheduling process.
  6. Select the date box (example: Jan. 18) under [Interview Dates] to view the list of available interview slots. If no date box appears, then all interview slots have been taken for that employer.
  7. Select your interview time and hit the [Signup] button. Please note that your default resume will automatically be attached.
  8. You will then be redirected to the [Scheduled Interviews] tab where you can view your scheduled mock interview. This will show that you have successfully scheduled a mock interview for that employer. 

To review the complete information about an employer including interviewing attorneys (if available), click on the [Review] button next to the employer's name.

Cancellation Policy

Please do not cancel your interview at the last minute. This is unfair to students who were unable to get an interview time as well as to the attorneys who donate their time to participate in this program. If you have to cancel an interview, you MUST provide 72 hours notice and contact Drew Carls in the Career Services Office immediately (512-232-7110 or dcarls@law.utexas.edu). Do not phone employers directly.

Important Note

Due to unforeseen factors and schedule changes, some attorneys may have to cancel at the last minute. We will try to make every effort to find a replacement so you will not miss your interview time. In some cases we may have to reschedule the interview. We appreciate your understanding.
