[QUOTE="aspiringlawyer47, post: 171918, member: 23010"] Questions I’ve asked: Work related: 1. (Assuming they’ve been at the firm for more than 10 years which most partners have been) What has kept you at the firm for so many years? 2. What are the biggest challenges of being a partner? 3. What are your hopes for the firm/your department over the next few years? About you as a future trainee: 1. What character traits are you looking for in trainees that do a seat rotation in your department? When they give you an answer, you can follow up and ask if these are common traits in successful (those who have qualified and stayed at the firm) trainees. 2. If you are working on a matter with a trainee and their supervisor, what kind of tasks are usually assigned to trainees? 3. What would you say is the recipe for success as a vacation scheme candidate/trainee? I’m 100% sure they’ll say there isn’t one but in my experience, it presents an opportunity for further discussion. Hope this helps and best of luck in your interview! [/QUOTE]
