2,017 associate attorney interview questions shared by candidates

They asked about my experience and knowledge of their practice areas and about my own litigation experience. Those were their primary questions. They also offered me the opportunity to ask questions. The attorneys and partner I interviewed with were extremely approachable, down to earth, intelligent and responsive. I could not accept their offer to work with the firm unfortunately. This was primarily due to family issues, but I would recommend taking a position with this firm to any attorney given the opportunity.

Didn't really have very difficult questions. Attitude of all interviewers was more collaborative and friendly - trying to get to know you instead of tripping you up. Only difficult question I had was one attorney who asked me about work I'd done during my 1L internship and challenged me on my conclusion in a research memo. It wasn't contentious though. Seemed more like he was interested to have a good discussion about the issues and see where I was coming from.
