You may have seen a job description before you submitted your resume for the position. By asking you to describe the role in your own words, the hiring partner may just be looking to see if there are gaps in your understanding of the role that they can then fill in for you by providing some more detail about what the daily work may look like.

"I did read through the job description that was provided, and I also talked the position over with the career development counselor at Law School ABC. From my understanding, the primary role would be to support partners in researching any legal questions that may come up during their M&A cases and providing written memos of my research results. I may be assigned tasks such as drafting initial contracts for partners to review, assisting with client meetings, and coordinating communications with the other parties of the transaction. I'm sure there is much more involved in the role, and I look forward to learning more."
