Interview
My pupillage interview with this firm was my best experience. The partners who interviewed me were nice and warm, setting a good tone from the beginning of the interview process. You will mainly be posed with legal scenario based questions on your preferred practice area or favourite law school subject, and the interview objective is to mainly gauge your thought process and flow in articulation. Think legally but also logically as the interviewers do not expect perfect answers, but to see if you have good potential to be honed. Overall a positive experience.
