Initial phone screening was followed by an on-site interview with the hiring coordinator and several associates and one partner within the practice group. Standard interview questions, very informal, more conversational. Discussed reasons for applying, interest in law school, interest in the city.
Questions were not technical at all, mostly about reasons for working in law and interest in going to law school. More a conversation than an intense interview. Also spoke to multiple people.

Question 1
1. Do you want to go to law school? 2. Do you want to work in corporate law? 3. Why litigation, not transactional law?
The interview was very casual and focused primarily on seeing if the candidate fits the vibe of the litigation legal assistant team. While it was a formal interview, it felt more like a conversation

Through campus recruiting - a fast-forwarded and direct process because of my school's relationship with the firm. Questions were very simple and straight-forward. I think this will be unique to other people's experience .
