Working as an attorney is more than just knowing the law. Sometimes you have to be creative to get the results your client wants. This question is looking at whether you know how to address issues and not get stuck thinking inside the box. Share a time when you were flexible and worked through issues in a new way to create a better outcome for everyone.
This does not have to be limited to a workplace example. Perhaps you have an example of an interaction at school or between friends or family that shows you can take initiative and be open to new possibilities.

"Recently, my family wanted to get together in a different state for a vacation/family reunion. It was a situation where multiple people said it would be nice, but no one was really taking action to make it happen. Finally, I decided to choose an actual location and had to coordinate everyone's schedule to find a time that worked. We all knew that it was important to reconnect, but it's hard to be the person that takes on the administrative details of organizing something like that. It showed me that if something is important, you need to put in the hard work to make it happen."
