Put your notes in your phone, and if you get a quick break use them to refresh, but don’t bust them out. (Re)typing will help memorize so you’ll be fine. You got this!

I always bring a note pad in a leather folio and pen and take notes on their answers to my questions. Most interviews are conversational so I end up jotting down things throughout. I would just hand write crib notes on the first page. I also bring extra copies of my resume and cover letter etc in the same folio.
I realize this is after the fact, but I’m an in-house attorney and I absolutely brought a notepad with my own questions and space to jot things down in the interviews. I later received positive feedback as being their strongest interviewer, so if you brought notes I think you’re good! Also if I was interviewing I’d be surprised if someone DIDN’T have any materials. Most times I’ve interviewed candidates that have at least a pen and paper.
