What are tutors looking for in a law interview?

In a law interview, tutors are looking for raw academic potential, so make sure you think out loud so that they can see all the thought processes happening in your brain. When they ask you a question, think first about what the question means, and consider the terms they have used. What does fair mean? Even if you don't have a good answer, make a working definition and then test it along the way against problems which come up. Keep talking out loud as you answer the question. That way, even if you come to the wrong conclusion, the tutor can understand how you got there. It's entirely possible that you could have had promising intuition and instinct, but due to nerves you've erred in your answer. What the tutors are looking for is raw potential to do well under the intense tutoring system Oxbridge colleges have in place, therefore you should worry less about giving perfect answers (because you won't be able to most of the time!), and more about showing them you can cope with the unknown and unfamiliar.
