Entretien
Standard on-campus interview process, beginning in law schools and ending in a large hotel. Ropes doesn't do anything differently in this respect than other law firms -- though they do make an effort to align your interviewers with your background and interests more than other firms I've seen. Also, I interviewed in September 2008, but that isn't a choice available from the drop-down below, meaning that it incorrectly reads September 2010.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
What practice group do you want to be in? (difficult, given that few second-year law students have had exposure to the full array of practice groups, and you're expected to be precise and reasoned)

Entretien
One Screener. CB was four 30-minute interviews. Two were partners and two were associates. Got a rejection 4 weeks after CB. I assume I was a second-choice but who knows.
The interviews day is a long day but with friendly people. All very smart, looking for good fit rather than drilling on any subject matter. Be aware that the lunch is part of the interview.
Screener then call back - each interviewer has about 20-30 mins where they ask various skill based and personable questions. It was a very relaxed setting & they really just want to get to know you.
