Law Internships

[misagreenville]

I desperately need some advice.

I am a 1L trying to get a job with a firm for the summer. I realize that most firms don't hire 1Ls but I've found several that recruit 1Ls. I've sent out my resume and cover to several firms in my area...but because I am new at this; I'm not sure how the process works from there. I heard that the interview process is different from a traditional job interview. Can anyone give me some feedback on how the interview process works? What kind of questions do interviewers typically ask? Is there a standard G.P.A. requirement you must have before a firm will even consider your application? Is the G.P.A. the only tool firms use to determine if you are qualified or does work experience and a strong writing sample hold just as much weight?

Please help!!
