Quite friendly and conversational. All of the questions are quite normal and standard, mostly about why you are interested in this firm and why you are interested in the specific practice.
About a half hour screener interview. The attorney interviewing mostly read off my resume and asked follow-up questions where necessary. You do have time at the end to ask questions which I recommend.

Question 1
Do you know what type of law you want to practice?
Very chill questions, just wanted to learn more about me. I feel like I got a good sense of the firm culture and what to expect. They were very friendly! Lots of room to ask my own questions. Felt pretty close to a normal conversation.
