Personal injury cases can involve a lot of research. If you want to practice law because you enjoy client interactions, then you may be disappointed with the paperwork side of the job. Since laws often change, there is a lot of research and prep work before working with a client on which remedy to pursue. Associates are often assigned the prep work for the case. You may be recording facts, reviewing insurance policies, obtaining police reports and other documents. You then have to be able to synthesize all the information and present it to the managing partner and/or client. Be prepared to explain how you would efficiently tackle the task.

"One of the reasons I want to get into personal injury law is that I love investigating different issues. Before law school, I worked at an insurance company as a claims adjuster and my primary role was to obtain the facts about the incident from the insured party. It helped me understand what questions to ask. It was detail-oriented work, and I found that it was easy for me. I developed skills in that job that I enhanced in law school. I am looking forward to applying those skills in this position."
