What the interview asks about

1. 1.Efficient legal research approach

   You must identify relevant authorities quickly and assess their applicability without wasting time on tangents.

   For example: “You're assigned research on whether a particular contract clause is enforceable under Massachusetts law. Outline your search strategy and how you'd determine if recent case law has shifted the landscape.”

2. 2.Contract risk prioritization

   Not all risks are equal; you identify which ones matter most to the client's goals and exposure.

   For example: “You're reviewing a partnership agreement and find a vague termination clause, ambiguous IP ownership language, and a missing force majeure provision. How do you rank their significance and explain your reasoning?”

3. 3.Dispute scenario analysis

   You assess claims and defenses in realistic litigation contexts, weighing likely outcomes and settlement value.

   For example: “A client alleges breach of a service agreement because the vendor missed a deadline. The vendor claims force majeure due to a software outage. How do you analyze the strength of each position under the contract language?”

4. 4.Writing for non-lawyer audiences

   AI training requires clear explanation of legal logic; you avoid jargon and expose your reasoning.

   For example: “You draft a memo explaining why a particular regulatory filing is required. Your audience includes engineers, not lawyers. How do you structure your explanation so they understand both the 'what' and the 'why'?”

5. 5.Independent project execution

   You work alone with asynchronous feedback; you must manage scope, quality, and deadlines without daily supervision.

   For example: “You're assigned a complex multi-state compliance analysis with a two-week deadline but no interim milestones or check-ins. How do you structure your work to stay on track and deliver high-quality analysis?”

A task you may get

Research a contract dispute scenario across two states, identify applicable law and key authorities, then write a memo explaining the likely enforceability outcome.

How to prepare

• Review sample legal research workflows and identify your typical starting sources for contract, regulatory, and dispute research
• Prepare a recent memo or opinion you've written that demonstrates your analytical and writing style
• Identify one complex multi-jurisdiction legal topic from your practice and refresh your knowledge
• Practice explaining a legal concept (e.g., consideration, duty of good faith) in a way accessible to intelligent non-lawyers
