Interview
Essay then interview. For the essay, it was very definition based/general/vague. I was quite shocked because I thought the JD was something more related to something else. Anyway, it is open-book. I was shocked again when the interviewer asked if I wrote the essay on my own, because I definitely went to research online. For the interview, there were 5 interviewers. I felt there was some hostility toward me, even though I don't know what I had done to warrant that. Only 2 of the interviewers would ask me questions or answer my questions. Another 2 either were using their phones or asked some confrontational questions. Be prepared to tie in your hobby to something about law. The office building has a lot of security like an airport. New joiners have to work in office for 6 months.
