Behavioral Technical
It started with a screening with two attorneys, then there was a multi-hour rotation where I interviewed with one or two attorneys in each block. The interviews felt pretty conversational and were as much about them describing the firm to me as they were about them asking me questions.

Behavioral Case
I first went through the on-campus recruiting program and had a screening interview that lasted about 30 minutes. Then I got a call to go fly to the office in New York for in-person interviews on-site. I had about 4 interviews with different people, and then lunch interviews. The whole process took about 4 hours or so. I received a call with news that I had gotten an offer about a week later.
