Didn't really have very difficult questions. Attitude of all interviewers was more collaborative and friendly - trying to get to know you instead of tripping you up. Only difficult question I had was one attorney who asked me about work I'd done during my 1L internship and challenged me on my conclusion in a research memo. It wasn't contentious though. Seemed more like he was interested to have a good discussion about the issues and see where I was coming from.
Much of the interview was getting to know me and my background. Any difficult questions were unique to me, and wouldn't be helpful. There were basic questions about competency which were easily answered by someone with experience.

If I would be able to travel to various locations to meet with clients and attend courthouses throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to represent clients.
