How can a research memorandum be used during a job interview with a legal employer?

What will be an ideal response?


If you are called in for an interview, you can present the writing sample during the interview and not walk in empty handed. This way, you have the full attention of the interviewer and he or she can scan the memo briefly in front of you. This is also to your benefit because if the interviewer has any questions about the memo or its topic, this can generate good conversation during the interview.
