1 Questions Employers Often Ask 1. Self- evaluation Tell me about yourself. What do I need to know about you that s not on your resume? What s been your biggest challenge in life? What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses? What two or three accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction? What qualifications do you have that will help you be successful in law practice? What sets you apart from other candidates? Why did you choose law as a career? If you weren t in law school, what would you be doing? Why did you decide to attend law school after (getting a PhD/working for an investment bank/joining the peace corp)? Why did you transfer to YLS from (prior law school)? How would your (small group/friends/teachers/former employers/family members) describe you? In what ways do you see yourself needing further development in order for you to be fully effective in your career? In what kind of working environment are you most comfortable? Do you consider yourself a team player? Why? What are your personal standards of success and when have you met or exceeded them? How would you feel about representing an unpopular client (e.g., a serial murderer, terrorist, tobacco company, foreign client defending its policy of not hiring women or religious minorities or defending against alleged human rights violations)? What aspects of a job do you consider most important? What do you want out of your summer experience? What do you see yourself doing five years from now? What are your long range career objectives? What was the last book that you read? How did it affect you? What are your non-academic interests? What non-academic achievement are you most proud of and why? 2. Law School Experience Why did you decide to attend law school? Why this law school? If you were the Dean of the Law School, what changes would you make? What law school subjects have you liked best? Least? Why? What have you learned from participating on journals or in clinical programs? What are you writing about for your SAW or Substantial Paper? Give me an example of a written legal project that you re proud of. Are your grades good indicators of your academic abilities? What was your most rewarding academic experience? What has been the most challenging part of law school for you? What do you think about Professor X, Judge Y, Dean Z? (Proceed with caution here. The interviewer could have loved a professor you did not enjoy.) Avoid saying negative things in an interview.
2 3. Work Experience What professional abilities should we know about? How have your prior positions helped prepare you for a legal career? Describe the most interesting project that you worked on last summer/last year. What about it was so appealing to you? What was an interesting legal issue you dealt with in your job last summer? Did you receive an offer from your prior summer employer? If not, why? 4. Interest in Position What would you like to know about our organization? Why did you decide to interview with us? Where else are you interviewing? What factors are most important to you when selecting a law firm? What is your geographical preference? What ties do you have to our area? How do you think you can make a contribution to our practice or organization? In what particular area(s) of practice are you most interested? Do you see yourself as a litigator or transactional lawyer? Why? Do you have any outstanding job offers? If so, where? Why are you looking again? 5. Behavioral Questions Describe a difficult problem that you have had to deal with and how you have handled it. Discuss a recent experience when you had to work under pressure. Describe a situation where you work was criticized. Describe a situation where you had to convince someone of your viewpoint. Give an example of a situation where you used good judgment and logic. Discuss a situation where you had to make an unpopular decision. Tell me about a time when you agreed to work on too many projects and had to prioritize. Describe a group project where you were in charge and had to deal with a difficult team member. Describe a situation when you were unexpectedly put in a leadership role. What was the result or outcome? Questions to Ask Employers 1. Questions Geared Toward Private Firms a. Firm Structure/Organization Is any department responsible for the lion s share of the firm s business? (i.e., Does the litigation department primarily service clients of corporate partners, or vice versa?) Is the firm s success tied to many clients or to a few? How has the firm been affected by the recent economic and political climate? How significantly has the number of the firm s partners and associates grown in the past 15 years? How many new associates have been hired annually over the past several years? What is the rate of associate turnover? In what types of practice are alums of your firm engaged? Where do people go when they leave here? What are the plans for the firm s future? What practice areas have expanded in recent years? What areas do you foresee expanding in the future? In recent years, has the firm acquired important new clients? Is a merger imminent?
3 Can you explain the firm s management structure to me in greater detail? How independent are each of the firm s offices?

What is the average number of billable hours expected? What types of required activities are included/not included in billable hours? Is pro bono work included in billable hours? What is the firm policy governing maternity and paternity leaves? What effect, if any, does taking a leave have on the lawyer s prospects at the firm? (If the firm represents foreign clients or has foreign office) How are attorneys selected for posting to foreign offices? Is such posting highly competitive? What effect does an attorney s decision to accept or decline such a posting have on his or her career at the firm? c. Associate Life What types of associates succeed at your firm and why? Are new associates assigned to one department or rotated through several? How is their work determined, assigned, and evaluated? When does an associate become a specialist? Who decides and how? When does an associate generally have contact with clients and take on major responsibility for cases or matters? To what extent are new associates involved in training programs?

What do you think differentiates your firms from other firms in your market? What advice can you give me as I start my career? g. The Economy and the Firm Tell me about the health of your firm. What changes do you expect to see in the firm over the next five years? With the shifting economy, has the firm s strategy shifted in any ways? What practice areas do you anticipate growing in the next few years? What steps has the firm taken in reaction to the economic downturn? Have you noticed the downturn in your own work? In what ways?

Who assigns matters to interns/new attorneys? Are certain areas or activities channeled to particular attorneys? If you could change the organization, what would you change? Do not ask the head of an organization this question presumably he or she can change it. How does this organization interact with other organizations doing similar work? How does this office select its projects, clients, or cases? What would you say is the biggest success that your office has achieved in any forum? What would you say contributed most to that success?
