Counsel Interview Questions

5,112 counsel interview questions shared by candidates

They asked me in the survey to answer a number of detailed questions about my background. One of these questions was "On average, how many hours a year did you bill at your law firm?" For those of us trying to leave law firms because of billable hour requirements, this question is an obvious turn-off (and perhaps does not reflect well on their values/culture...)

Questions were a mix of outline your experience to personality based questions. One example was asking what would happen if the business came up to you and said that they want to go ahead with a new product but you find out that they need a permit first. How would you respond? If the business then said that they would go ahead with it anyway despite your answer, what would you do next.
