Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP (Callback)Anonymous (T20) Callback with 4 attorneys (2 associates and 2 partners). Pretty straight forward for the most part, some questions off my resume, lots of "what would you like to know about us?", one interviewer was concerned about no ties to NY. Received offer later that day.

Perkins Coie LLP (Callback)Anonymous (T40) Don't arrive late and print/bring any paperwork they request. Several partners in the litigation group had bizarre questions:
Partner 1: if you could be any animal what would it be?
Answer: a lion, so I could eat you for asking such a silly question (he seemed to like the response)
Partner 2: who is your favorite justice, living or dead (was willing to entertain Federal Circuit judges as well)
Answer: Posner (big fan of utilitarianism)
Got asked a lot about my prior WE, which was in a relevant field, but didn't do a great job answering some of those questions.
