Behavioral Technical Other
It was the standard interview process for a law firm. First, I met with two attorneys. Then, I was invited back for another round to meet with more partners and associates. The interview was pretty long, which is normal for a law firm. I met with some people together and others one-on-one. They asked me common questions about why I want to work at the firm and about my resume.
