Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jessica Booker" data-source="post: 113480" data-attributes="member: 2672">The input you have had from others here is great.I would expect a technical question to be anything that assesses your knowledge of how something may be practically considered/processed in a law firm.That can sound slightly scary, but reality is the interviewers are only going to ask such questions knowing the answer is likely to reflect your education/work experience. For instance, they are not going to ask a non-law student with no exposure to law how a specific part of contract law works.However, they could ask something like “what makes up a good contract” and just have relatively low expectations. For instance, everyone has probably seen a basic contract (eg phone bill/consumer agreement) or can at least think about what happens with one and apply some common sense thinking. Therefore you could expect someone to at least have a go and answer such a question - they may just not have the legal jargon down (and that’s fine).Other technical questions could be as simple as “summarise your XXXXXX law module for me as if I had no knowledge of the subject”. Again, this doesn’t really need lots of practical work experience but is trying to get you to thinking about the key elements of a law module. Questions like this are really testing your analytical and communication style rather than technical knowledge though.There are some more specific technical questions in here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/175-training-contract-interview-questions-2/[/URL]As you can see from this list, sometimes they are more specific and precise. Something like “Name three ways a company can raise finance for an acquisition.” is a technical question, but again could be answered with just common sense - it isn’t always about having the jargon down (that can easily be taught), it’s more about seeing your common sense and commercial thinking.</blockquote>
