关于解决问题的能力：
Judgment/Problem-solving
1. Tell me about a situation from your job last summer that required you to exercise judgment.
2. In law school, how do you approach a problem for which there appears to be no definitive answer?
3. Assume you are a first-year associate with this firm. How would you handle a situation in which the partner is unavailable, and the client needs an immediate answer to a question?
4. Assume you are asked by two partners to complete two different assignments, but you only have time enough to complete one. What would you do?
Students should show good judgment and problem-solving skills, e.g., get the partners together to discuss priorities. An answer like "Stay up all night and all day and multi-task until they're both done" is not good.
5. Tell me about your last big mistake. How did you handle it?
6. What is your biggest weakness?
This stupid question is often asked by recruiters. I would like every student to answer it "Lack of professional experience" but some prefer their own answers. Don't let them get away with "I work too hard" or "I take on too many responsibilities"-it's the old pretend the virtue is a vice syndrome. However, "gin" is not an acceptable answer either.
7. What do you like least about law school?
