I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Herrick, Feinstein LLP (New York, NY) in Jun 2019
Interview
Screener interview, then a day of meeting 5 lawyers consecutively in the office. The screener interview was very basic questions, focused on personality and interests. The panel of lawyers was diverse among their practice areas and went deeper into knowledge and desire to work at the firm.

Question 1
Why Herrick? What parts of the legal field are you interested in? Past job history -- how you dealt with conflict and deadlines. Relevant course work.
Organized and respectful. No curveballs. Spoke with three people over one day. Was very transparent and conversational. We discussed background, training, practice and team landscape as well as expectations for the role.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Herrick, Feinstein LLP (New York, NY) in Jan 2024
Interview
One interview with two partners. They did not ask any tough curveball questions and i found it difficult to get into a passionate discussion with them. We did not discuss extracurriculars. They seemed hesitant that I would be able to meet Billable requirements despite my insisting that I would be able to.
