Behavioral
It was pretty laid-back and conversational. They won't directly ask 'why', but you should still explain your reasons. Make sure you're ready to ask about the interviewers' specific practice areas. It's important to mention again why you're interested in the firm and inquire about the program details.

After I applied, they got back to me about two months later to set up a phone interview. It was a pretty standard interview with typical questions. Nothing really hard stood out, and if you get ready for the basic stuff, you'll be fine for the process.

the interview process was great, the partner was very friendly. There was a written test before, which was easy, and another interview round after. Overall it wasn't too difficult and no legal questions were involved, mostly just chatting and understanding my future plans.
