[QUOTE="D, post: 31503, member: 540"] There's no substitution to finding out previous questions for sure - If you are a member of a diversity network (such as Rare), they collate previous questions for your assistance. The next step I would take would be doing some open-source research. Someone may have interviewed there and posted their questions. TCLA may also have this information. Outside of that - the next best thing is adequate preparation. Have good answers to the classic questions - Why law, why the firm, why me. These are answers you provide expand upon the brief summary you provide in your application form. Next, I'd consider the questions a firm could ask about a specific competency - When have you had to overcome a challenge? When have you dealt with conflict? Do this for the competencies you believe a law firm will test and you will be well on your way. Jaysen did have a big list of questions asked by law firms on TCLA. It may be a downloadable resource or it may be hidden away on the forum. I'll look for it when im back on my laptop and drop the link in here :) Have you received any feedback from your unsuccessful attempts? Perhaps addressing those specific points may be a better place to start. [/QUOTE]
