Does anyone know if Northwestern makes any exceptions to its in-person-only interviews for JD applicants? Alternately, do they ever conduct interviews in England?

For the ED program? Probably not (but call and ask). If you aren't doing ED, you should be able to do an off-campus interview with an alum if they offer them internationally.

I'm not applying ED. I'm just concerned that, for regular decision, either they won't offer interviews over here or that I will be deployed (active duty military). Either way, I'll be unable to fly back to the States for an interview.

I'll call or email them. Just wanted to see if there is any TLS wisdom on the subject before I do.

Off campus interviews are open to schedule. Your best bet is to fill out the form and hope for the best. Once you're in contact with the interviewer you can do the interview as soon as s/he is able to, even if it's before you submit your app.
