First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at US Bankruptcy Court.
Judicial Intern
It was a really great experience. The judge was super friendly and really wanted to help out. The law clerks were also very helpful and generous with their time. I also had the chance to chat with a past law intern and hear about their experiences and what they were working on.
- Could you tell me your motivations for seeking this role and what you hope to gain from it?
Law Clerk
You'll first interview with other law clerks. After that, you'll interview directly with the Judge, who ultimately makes the hiring decision. It's really important to be well-prepared. Even more importantly, try to connect with the judge beforehand so they know who you are.
- What draws you to bankruptcy law or the court system?
- What motivates your desire to work in a court environment?
- Do you possess strong skills in legal writing and research?
Intake Clerk
They reached out about a week after I applied. The first interview was on a Monday and it was a panel with about 6-7 people. They said I'd hear back by Friday, and they called Wednesday to set up the next interview for the following Monday. That second interview was also a panel with about 6-7 different people. Then, a month and a half went by before they called to check my references. Three more weeks passed, and then they offered me the job. Waiting was the hardest part for sure.
- What makes you want to join the US Bankruptcy Court?
Software Developer
got contacted by a recruiter by email and scheduled an interview which included a live coding session. Since it was a contract role and I didn't want to relocate, I wasn't super motivated. The coding question was tough and took 45 minutes. I didn't perform well on it.
