I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at NACDL (Washington, DC) in Nov 2017
Interview
Applied via email. Two to three rounds of in-person interviews with a hiring panel. First panel had about five people. Second panel had almost ten.
The position was with a department that focuses on a specific legal issue. While they asked general questions about work ethic and basic knowledge for that subject matter in the first round, the second interview was totally centered around the topic of law. I was asked about recent case law, hot topics in emerging legal trends, what I believed were the biggest threats to building favorable case law, potential impact of judicial appointments, constitutional law, etc.
The interview was not easy, but I would say it was fair in relation to the job description. Don't try to work for NACDL if you don't know the issues inside and out.
On a side note, everyone was exceedingly kind. They were a little awkward and nervous the first round, but they were very warm and welcoming both times. It struck me as a really collegiate place to work. Everyone seemed to like each other and all were passionate about the work they did.

How would you work with attorneys who have more litigation experience than you but who are reaching out for assistance?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at NACDL (Washington, DC) in Apr 2017
Interview
I applied on-line, one month later I was offered an in-person interview another month away. The interview was a little cold and unstructured at first, but quickly took on a conversational tone. The interviews could not offer me clear information about what I would be asked to do, and described a position which was part-time at best. I left with an impression that I would be routinely asked to carry out tasks outside of my job description.
