Easy to use application system, prompt communication, respectful meeting with committee members - more like a conversation than an interview. People who work there are clearly smart, engaged and committed and the atmosphere of the office seems more like a fun startup than a public defender.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you feel representing people who have been committed serious crimes?
Tough Interview. It will be a panel and they will ask you several different questions. You will also be doing a mock interview with a client. Stay confident and you will be okay.
It was long, i believe around 2-3 steps. Had a screener and then a longer one where I had an interview the staff. Ultimately made it to the reference check but they went with someone else. They give you questions for the interviews before hand.

Question 1
How would you deal with a client from different life experiences than yours?
Interview was over zoom with a panel of interviewers. Almost everyone on the panel's cameras were off, which made it more challenging. Some questions were provided in advance the day prior.
