  • In your previous experience, how have you managed conflicting priorities and tight deadlines as a legal assistant? Can you share a specific strategy or approach you used to effectively balance multiple tasks?
  • Share an example of a challenging interaction you had with a difficult client or colleague in a previous role. How did you handle the situation, and what steps did you take to maintain professionalism and resolve any conflicts?
  • In the legal field, attention to detail is crucial. Can you provide an example of a time when your attention to detail prevented a potential error or oversight in a legal document or process? How did you identify and rectify the issue?
