Tried looking, no avail.
Going on a CB in a few days; i have 1 question.
Are the generic 'why law; why location x; whats your largest achievement' questions over with now, and is the firm generally wanting me to meet attorneys and show me the firm? Or should I expect to be asked typical interview questions?
-I get the sense that during CBs it's mostly walking around and meeting/chatting with attys. Is this accurate? Or is more of just atty after atty interviewing me?

Re: CB Question
It will probably be the bolded. And you'll get many of the same generic questions. There will also be a meal with attorneys thrown in.(likely lunch)Anonymous User wrote:Tried looking, no avail.

Re: CB Question
From my experience this year, CB's are a real mix. You meet with some partners and some associates and there is no "formula" for how each individual conducts their interview. Some have been very standard Q and others have literally been discussions about netflix and the Olympics with little to no mention of law.
The one constant is there is always time for questions and you should have a few prepped and ready for when the interviewer asks. One firm specifically was very question based and wanted me to fill 20 min. with questions.
