Question 1
Experience of studying abroad Difference between that country and HK Which subject I like the most
It was 3 rounds, fairly simple. I think it helped to show genuine interest in various practice area groups and say how i plan on utilizing the position best before i apply to law school.
I had a short interview with standard questions regarding my work history, education, prior experiences, and interest in the firm and position. 20-30 minutes or so. Only went through one round of interviewing.
