I know there was a similar thread made earlier, but it never materialized.
I have an CB interview tomorrow morning, but never got a schedule. Anyone have any last-minute advice about how I approach asking questions to my interviewers?

-How did you initially get into your practice area?
-What about the firm attracted you/keeps you here?
-If there was one thing you could change about the firm, what would it be?
-If they've been there for awhile, ask how the firm/client needs have changed over the past 5-10 years given the economy.
-Ask associates about their day-to-day interaction with partners in regards to informal mentoring and career development.
But remember, ask questions that come up in the natural course of the conversation (this is often better than having canned questions that come off as awkward).

Re: No interview Schedule
You'll be fine. Just have slightly different questions prepared for partners, senior associates, mid-levels, and juniors. Although I always looked up bios, I rarely asked bio-specific questions. They're not really necessary.
