Researching the law firm before your interview is a great way to stand out from other candidates. "Research shows that 85% of interviewees don't do it: research. Mistake! You've got some research to do before every interview. Whether you're at the top of your class at a distinguished law school or you're trailing the crowd at Fred's night YWCA Law School, it doesn't matter. You can't go into the interview cold and expect to impress the interviewer." Pizza ProvidedAll students in attendance receive 500 Westlaw reward points.
