Second round interview at Urban Justice Center- Domestic Violence Project. Anyone have any tips? I was told I would be given scenarios to respond to, and I’m nervous that I’ve forgotten everything I learned in Law School and bar prep.

How did it go?
A gentle reminder that we call it practicing law for a reason. You’re never expected to know everything, because it’s a field of constantly learning and adapting. I hope you did fine responding to the scenarios which I assume weren’t requiring recitation of anything from law school or bar prep.
