I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Legal Services NYC (New York, NY) in Jan 2023
Interview
The interview process was straightforward. I had one interview with all of the attorneys in my unit, as well as a member of support staff. It lasted about an hour. In order to have a more equitable interviewing process, they asked stock questions pertaining to why legal services, why public interest, and whether we have worked with indigent clients in the past.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever worked with indigent clients in the past? What are your experiences with them? Why do you want to work in public interest?
Initially, I was contacted via email. Then, I had a Zoom call with two interviewers, where they asked me a list of ten questions. I answered the questions. Then, they asked more questions.
