Fluent, kind interviewer with standard questions. Went along for 20 minutes. emphasis on the substnative of law school classes and opinions about it. Then leaving around 5 to 7 minutes for interviewee to ask questions. In general pretty good!

Very difficult interview but enjoyable. They are not looking for the right answers but your thought process, whether you can think on your feet.
