[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 124587, member: 17155"] Hi [USER=4216]@DTB[/USER]! I remember I was asked to discuss a news story in an interview once and I really was not prepared is having a structure beforehand is super helpful! I'd recommend something like introducing what the news story is about (under 100 words) ➡️ why this story interested you ➡️ touching upon the main commercial and legal issues➡️ if possible, adding which commercial/legal direction you think the story is going to go in. In terms of which story to pick- if you're really confused, pick a story which involves one of the firm's deals or practice areas as this will be easy for you to generate interest in from your interviewers. If you're keen on picking a macro issue, that's absolutely fine, but then again, relate it to the firm's or, more generally, a law firm's deals/practice areas/strategy. It's a good idea to build a bank of at least 5-6 news stories that you've been following more generally and then top it up with 5 or so firm-specific deals and news. I'd recommend using the firm's website to find these! [/QUOTE]
