I first had a twenty minute screening interview with a partner at the firm and then had a one hour callback interview with four different attorneys. The callback interview was casual but there were several tough behavioral questions that I needed to be prepared for.

Question 1
When did you have to say something to someone that you knew they didn't want to hear?
Had screener and next day callback. Conversational with a few behavioral questions sprinkled in there. Overall got along well with the partners and associates and had great conversations. Got the callback an hour after the screener so things seemed to be moving pretty quick.
I applied online. I interviewed at Goodwin (Washington, DC)
Interview
Screener was with a junior associate over zoom. Call-back was with 4 senior partners in person, a conversation with each for roughly 30 minutes back to back. They sent me an automated rejection email three days after the call back interview. Overall, everyone was friendly, and nice, a bit sad about not getting the job.

Question 1
What was one time at your previous job that you were asked to do something unethical? What did you do, and how did you handle it?
