An interview with a judge will last anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour or longer. Questions about law school, specific courses, and outside legal activities are also very common. Though you should be courteous and respectful during the interview, you should feel free to inquire about working conditions and the judge's views on the division of responsibility. Be prepared to tell the judge how well you write and to emphasize your writing experience. It is not necessary to give a reason.
Many judges expect students to accept immediately over the phone.
It is not wise to wait more than one or two days, during which you can check with other judges in whom you are more interested to see if you are still in the running with them. Write or call those who wrote letters of recommendation on your behalf, thank them for their efforts, and inform them of your plans.
