I like to give them easy opps to shine/ask questions that directly align with our “grading rubric” so that I can talk them up when I’m doing my report, e.g.,

Tell me about a time you went above and beyond/proudest work accomplishment
Tell me about a time you took ownership
Tell me about what interests/excites you about x area of law
Perhaps unpopular opinion but I am not a fan of wasting a lot of time on chit chat in interviews. I hope you are a nice person but I’m not super interested in whether we both like Taylor Swift concerts or whatever, that has zero impact on whether you’re a diligent team player who I’ll be super grateful to have on my team at 3 am next month.
My firm asks behavioural questions in OCI and I cringe each time I see what questions they ask each year and think about what kind of people we attract by asking those…
