It was a screener with a recruiting manager. I was asked why law, why patent litigation, why engineering, why I would want to practice in the area that I chose when I graduate.

There were two interview rounds. The first one was short, only 20-30 minutes. The second interview was much longer, about 1.5 to 2 hours. In the callback round, there were 3-4 interviewers, each lasting about half an hour. The questions were pretty similar across these interviewers and not very different from the first interview.
