I applied through university. I interviewed at Quinn Emanuel (New York, NY) in Jan 2026
Interview
Seamless process but absolutely humorless people. They did not care that i existed and did not have any questions for me. Seemed like a bad conversation I had to hold on my back
The interview followed the usual structure: introductions, a short discussion of my background, and questions about my interest in the firm. One interviewer had to leave unexpectedly, which meant the session concluded well before the allotted time. Although the questions were standard, the early finish made the overall process feel a little disjointed.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Quinn Emanuel (New York, NY) in Mar 2024
Interview
Standard big law post-clerkship; no surprising questions. But be introduced to introduce yourself as it appeared people had not reviewed my resume before and prepare a few questions ready for them.
