Blog 3 - First Interview Preparation


1.  Who do you plan to interview?  Why?

I plan to interview a attorney in the firm that I am mentoring at. I decided to not interview my mentor because I feel that I need someone else's perspective in regards to the type of questions that I am going to ask.

2.  Five questions will be assigned to all seniors to ask.  What additional questions do you plan to ask?  Ask open-ended questions. 
  • What inspired you to become an attorney? or Why did you decide to become an attorney?
  • What are your specialties?
  • What kind of environment do you think should a law firm have?
  • How should attorneys be towards their clients?
  • What do you believe to be the most important factor to maintaining a good relationship with your clients?
  • Have you ever had bad experiences concerning your relationship with a client? (You don't have to tell me the details of what happened. This could be a generalization and does not have to pertain to specific clients.)
  • What, in your opinion, would lead to a fast and easy decision on a case?
  • Would you say that a good relationship with the opposing counsel would be better for your case? Why?
