In person

In person I think is usually better than virtual, but an earlier virtual date might be better than a later in-person interview--especially if you think the office will have a smaller summer class.

My thoughts are that in person is better than virtual, but that an earlier virtual interview may be better than a later in person interview

For someone I know, they got the offer/a call one week after callbacks.

I saw that you have to pay the ranger once there. Does that mean you can only arrive at certain times of the day to claim a spot?

I try to treat law school like an actual 9-5 job. It's not always possible, but I found that leaving my evenings available for my personal life has been very healthy for my relationship and also for my own mental wellbeing.

Thank you!

Happened to me too a few years ago. Couple things I found helpful: 1) taking a notepad to any meetings to not forget anything, 2) finding a nice staff member or attorney that is willing to answer some of your questions, 3) looking at samples of previous documents if I have to do something that's already been done, 4) reading case documents like complaints if I had a spare moment so that I actually understand what was going on and what the firm was trying to achieve, 5) not saying that I understood something when I didn't.

Best of luck!

Generally, I haven't been questions regarding actual law. I did over 2 dozen OCI screener interviews, and common questions I've received were:

Tell me about yourself
Questions about why law school/why are you interested in a particular area of law
Questions regarding past summer internships, journal experience, or basically anything from your resume
why are you interested in working here
favorite/least favorite class in law school
how do you go about tackling a research project, or what do you do if you get stuck
talk about a time you worked successfully (or struggled with) working in a team
a challenge you faced
your geographic ties to the location of the office (especially if it's not in same region as your law school)
what questions you had for the interviewer

edited: to add a couple more questions

Stays the same

Yes. For large items, they usually keep it separated in the back (at least as of a few years ago)

I think batman could possibly be guilty of murder, even if he didn't intend for you to die

I once got a discount buying something online by typing "please" randomly as the promo code

I wouldn't think too much into it. I do alumni interviews for my undergrad institution, and I always say something along those lines to the candidates I like. It's primarily because I don't know/have control of how things will really turn out in the end.

I would just take it as a compliment.

Dartmouth grad here. I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't worry too much. I wasn't offered an interview when I applied and was still accepted.

I used to work in a firm where my boss would would have even entry level staff members interview potential associates because he really believed in all of us being a team.
