I applied through university. I interviewed at Missouri State Public Defender (Saint Louis, MO) in Feb 2025
Interview
Very simple OCI process. Interview was low-stress and conversational, and the interviewer was very kind. Be prepared to talk about why you are interested in public defense and consider applying to specialty departments to increase your chances.
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Missouri State Public Defender (Columbia, MO) in Mar 2018
Interview
It was a very conversational interview , but formal. It was two people who interviewed me and they were very friendly and made the 20 minutes fly by. The two people that interviewed me were very friendly they are more looking for people fascinated with the actual experience.
