Does anyone know if the interviews typically begin on time? I want to schedule an interview around the time Bryan Stevenson is presenting but I don't want to miss his speech in case the interviews get off track!

All my interviews are on one day. Therefore schedule:

Day 1 - Sober.
Day 2 - Not Sober.

When I went last year, the interview was strictly 20 minutes.

Same here. I am wondering if it will be even worth it to go to anything on Day 2. I have looked at the schedule but does anyone know if there is are any "not to be missed" presentations or sessions?

It's funny - I think that we got the opposite dings and accepts. Maybe our resumes just have vastly different strengths. All of my interviews are on Day 2, with the exception of Bronx. So I'll be sober on both days.

If you're interested in immigration law (which you should be if you're a PD gunner), there is a pro bono citizenship program on Day 2 which is accepting law student volunteers.

Although being not sober on Day 2 sounds fun too.

I meant about interviews all on Day 1. Is there free booze somewhere or do you just mean going out afterwards? Also the pro bono thing looks really hard to do if you have interviews since you have to do a morning training Friday and it appears to last most of the day Saturday. Doesn't work with my schedule.

Same. I am leaving Saturday night, which sucks, but at least that leaves Friday night
