I'm a 1L and I got an interview for a 2L associate position at a big firm in downtown Chicago through a contact. I am interviewing with one of the partners of the firm. Is there anything that I can say that can help me meet up to a more experienced 2L?
If the question comes up, "Why should I hire a 1L?", how should I answer that?
Thanks.

"Because there's no significant difference between a 1L and a 2L. Both of our legal educations are incomplete. However, I will promise that I will work my ass off for you and possess the same learning capacity as someone a year ahead of me. Plus I can order a mean coffee and am willing to work for free."lil10isman wrote:I'm a 1L and I got an interview for a 2L associate position at a big firm in downtown Chicago through a contact.
