My subject-specific interview was scheduled first. I was given some time to read and make notes on an article, then I was questioned on it during the interview. I also had to work out what the grounds for the main argument raised by the defendant in a case mentioned in the article might have been. In regard to the weird interview questions that circulate in the media and scare potential applicants away - there will be such questions, but they will always be put in context, so they will not seem impossible and out of this world, but rather in the flow of the ongoing discussion. I remember the interviewer asking me a question on a piece that I had listed on my English Literature curriculum at school when filling in the SAQ.

The general interview was with an admissions tutor. He asked a couple of questions regarding my academic background, and then we discussed my personal statement in great detail. At both my interviews there was another person alongside the main interviewer who also posed some questions for discussion.

I went over the books that I had discussed in my personal statement and other books that I heard read before and which fall into the lists of advisory "reading around the subject" - What About Law, Letters to a Law Student, Learning the Law. watched the mock law interview on the university YouTube channel. Two of the books I had covered in my personal statement were in the field of ethics - I got pretty involved with philosophy in high school and this was the philosophical branch that interested, and still interests me the most. 

Practice essay question - there are a few on the law faculty website. LNAT papers can be useful too, although in my opinion the essay prompts they set are too general and not as specific as the CLT ones. I think I had also purchased an Oxbridge interviewed prep e-book which had a subsection dedicated to the CLT.

Look forward to your interview rather than anxiously count the days left to it. Perceive it as an opportunity, not an obstacle. Speak your mind and think aloud, so to say. Don't feel pressured to jump into ill-founded conclusions just because you've heard that you have to be quick, but instead take your time to think about the question you're being asked if you feel the need to. Nobody is expecting you to have an answer ready the second after you have been given the question - in fact, it is not the answer itself, but you unique thought process that the interviewer is looking to follow.
