    Rosling King Paralegal Interview

    @James Carrabino @AvniD Anyone have any ideas here? Trying to get a sense of what to expect. Since the interviewers are both members of the DR team, should I re-familiarise myself with litigation problem questions?

    I just completed the Bird & Bird VI interview. My first interview so it's hard to tell how I did. I did come across as confident though so I recommend you don't let the questions phase you even if you're unprepared because it will show on camera. Say everything in confidence and look into the...

    Yes it is. No need to apologise - blunt is my preferred style lol. I'll look on YouTube. As for the course, I'd be interested to check it out. If you have a link to that video or can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

    Yes, that's exactly what I did when preparing for previous tests. But I have done every single question from all 9 sections. Do you know of any other reliable packages?

    Bird & Bird WG invite. Anyone know of the best test packages to buy? I think I've exhausted all the free resources at this point, and I have already bought the Assessment Day test package.

    Good question, and to follow this up, would that kind of experience classify as legal work experience? That is the only form of 'legal' experience I have right now, so I am interested in the answer as well.

    Have you been following any recent news stories or events that have attracted your attention and you think would have an impact, or be of interest, to Orrick? I guess 'recent' is a relative term, but would I be able to talk about the rise in online litigation during COVID and how it impacts...

    Thank you both. I'm clutching at straws here since they've limited these achievements (both academic and non-academic) to my time at school/uni.
