It is trying to assess how you deal with failure. You will fail a lot in a law firm. You’ll lose clients, you’ll fail in negotiations, you’ll lose cases in court. You need resilience and an ability to bounce back after failure. Firms are checking you have this ability - without it you are a major risk to any law firm.The firm is also looking for self-drive and self-development. You’ll also need to be someone who drives their own self development forward. They will be looking for how you have not only picked yourself back up from failure but whether you have had the drive/initiative to improve yourself so you don’t fail in the same way again.I personally wouldn’t use recruitment as an example of failure. Pretty much every candidate could claim the same. Try to show something that is more unique to you.
