Do you really want to go out on your own
Would you be comfortable representing the clients we work for (i.e. the KKK) and whether their views would have an effect on your work product?
There really were no difficult questions to answer, especially being it is quite an easy job.
Again, depends on the judge. No cookie cutter interview.
Why did you go to law school? What do you care about?
The organic chemistry pop quiz was *somewhat* unexpected, but wasn't completely out of left field, and I didn't find it too difficult. The question that gave me the most trouble was whether I could survive in the "shark tank" (handle dealing with other attorneys on a daily basis). Perhaps I got this question because I'm a little soft-spoken and shy.
I wasn't asked any difficult or unexpected question, the interview was fairly strait forward
Q: Why do you want this role as a summer law clerk?
“Tell me about yourself” and that’s it
