    I had a partner interview Friday, in which one of the questions was 'what would you be looking to do if there was not a career path in any area of law', to which I answered diplomacy. The interview was an hour long and we spent the next 20 mins talking about the Russo-Ukraine War, I understand...

    I can't remember much detail about it, but I think you could prepare for alot of eventualities in an hour or so and then read them off script or use prompts. Go for it! It's a learning experience if nothing else :)

    How does one get around requesting time off for a Spring Vac scheme when they will only be weeks into a role? I did mention the need for time off in the interview due to a fictitious skiing holiday. However, I am now slightly apprehensive of the fact that I could be asked about said ski holiday...

    would law firms ask you to switch languages in the middle of interview??

    I have had this worry in the past, having put working proficiency in French on a few applications (which I am), but obviously don't want to be answering interview questions in a language other than my mother tongue.

    FWIW, I would have thought that 'knowing' would mean something with a deeper connection than what you have mentioned. But I did find this, which may help: https://www.legalcheek.com/2016/02/why-ask-aspiring-lawyers-the-personal-contact-question-on-application-forms/
