This is something about which I would need to learn more. In college I did read plenty of cases and opinions and even wrote my own legal brief, but in terms of compacting everything relevant to a trial and filing it, I would need some more knowledge on that.

Very honest answer. If you are interviewing for an entry-level role out of school, they likely will not ask this one.

I briefly understand it to include case summarising, material collection and organization and legal research. This is an area that I would need to learn more about. At uni, I read plenty of cases and opinions, but in terms of compacting everything relevant to a trial and filing it, I would need more knowledge on that.

This would be an area of growth for me, and I welcome the opportunity to learn more. The case must be summarized; the material would be collected and organized, as well as legal research conducted.
