NIAC Strategic Interviewing Skills Workshop: Communicating Expertise & Impact

Participants will learn how to communicate their arbitration knowledge, research focus, and cross-cultural competence with confidence. This workshop also explores common interview formats (e.g., case-style discussions, behavioral questions, and scenario-based evaluations) with techniques for effective storytelling under time pressure. By the end of the session, participants will understand how to tailor their narrative to fit different interview contexts and highlight key skills (e.g., analytical reasoning, client engagement, and teamwork) to create a memorable impression.

This session runs in advance of Columbia Law School's Overseas-Trained LL.M. Interview Program January 16 and NYU Law School's ISIP January 30, targeting law students and early career professionals. Register Here.
