Before you don your suit, don't forget to do your homework, by finding out as much as you can about your interviewee, the firm, agency, corporation or public entity you are thinking about working for and the legal environment, in general. The library's Job Searching Research Guide offers many resources to use to prepare for an interview.

One particularly useful resource is the electronic database known as the Leadership Library. Formerly known as the Yellow Books, this resource provides detailed directory information on government agencies, law firms, judicial entities, non-profits and more. Biographies of judges, attorneys and corporate executives include educational background, e-mail addresses, and often photos and publications.

The guide also highlights publications on interviewing and etiquette which can provide useful pointers before the big day.
