You'll meet with a few different interviewers, usually three pairs of people. They have a set of questions they all ask, and then each pair will ask you some specific questions too. The whole thing takes about an hour.

So there's two steps involved. First, you'll have a longer interview with a couple of attorneys where they'll ask you about your resume and want you to expand on stuff you've done before. Make sure you're ready to explain why you chose them and this area of law, and also share times you found things tough at previous jobs. The second interview is more laid-back, just to meet more attorneys. I met four attorneys in total, two at a time. It was mostly you asking them questions, so definitely prep a bunch of questions about the company, the role, and so on.

It was a long interview process. I met with a lot of people from the firm. They were mostly trying to see if I would be a good fit. If they liked me, I might get to meet with Bergquist, assuming he wasn't busy or upset with someone.

Had a few rounds of interviews, each with 2-3 attorneys. They asked pretty much the same things each time. It wasn't super conversational, and they threw out questions that felt impossible to prepare for.
