The 10 Worst Questions to Ask in a Law Firm Interview
From The Volokh Conspiracy:
Here’s a list of the top ten worst things to say when the attorneys at the law firm you want to work at asks you at the end of the interview, “So, do you have any questions for me?”
1. “How would you describe the atmosphere here — Is it more like a labor camp or a slave ship?”
2. “I heard there was this guy who came here and only billed like three hours a week. They say it took the firm two years to kick him out, and they gave him a nice bonus to leave, too. Is that true?”
3. “Is it as bad as they say?”
4. “No. Should I?”
5. “I’m sorry, can you repeat the question?”
6. “Is your managing partner qualified to be on the Supreme Court?”
7. “Is there a bathroom on this floor?”
8. “How many partners here are still on their first wives?”
9. “Where am I? All of these firms look alike.”
10. “Where else are you interviewing?”
