What To Expect In DA Screener?
I have an interview with a DA's office in a major TX market for a one-year clerkship position. I have heard that it is common to receive a ton of behavioral and hypothetical questions. So I have been researching common questions and practicing. But should I expect this in an initial, 20-minute interview? Might it be more of "Why X county, why law school, etc.?" I will prepare for anything, but any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

This will have a lot of answers: http://top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt ... lit=gunner
(But I would think that if you've only got 20 minutes there will be a fair amount of "typical" interview questions more than hypos, but hypos are still possible.)

Re: What To Expect In DA Screener?
I had a 20 minute screener with Harris County (Houston) DA and it seemed mainly standard interview questions to me.
Why law school? Why Harris County? What would make you a good litigator? Spent most of the time discussing the progressiion a new attorney would make through their office and the types of cases they'd be handling.
I got dinged though so I might not have been asked the behavioral type questions once they realized they didn't want me anyway.
Good luck to you, I hope you nail it.
