What are some of your favorite interview questions to ask when interviewing paralegals/support staff? I’m sitting in on interviews next week and it’s been a while since I was the one getting to ask the questions. For context, the position is for a paralegal position doing civil litigation and family law litigation. Small firm (4 attorneys total).

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law.

Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
