[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 94577, member: 2672"] Try not to over-prepare your thoughts on this. You have to really go with the flow in the interview and listen to the specific questions asked. Firms don't just ask "why law", they will ask a fuller question that will have more context to it. You have to listen to that context carefully and adapt your answer to the specifics asked. Not every question is going to need clarification. In addition, your interviewer can also ask follow up questions if they want more detail or context. I honestly feel like you are at risk of over-analysing this where you are trying to prepare for every eventuality. It is impossible to do this. Thinking on your feet and analysing situations as they happen are vital skills for a lawyer and therefore I'd encourage you to think more like that than over prepare. [/QUOTE]
