What type of questions are asked in interviews for legal and company secretarial jobs? I am a Law graduate and pursuing the CS Professional course, so I am seeking a job in this field. Therefore, I need interview tips related to this field.

Neither have I interviewed nor been interviewed for this profile, so I am not answering to the point. Having said that, I can give you a general idea of how the interview process works (assuming that you are new to the interview process). I will state below how the questions are asked by the interviewer:
Start your interview with a warm handshake and greet them by their name.
- Let me understand your candidature, so give me a brief idea about yourself. Let's start with your family background.
- Some education-related questions (like institute-related, placement-related, course-related, any gaps if present).
- If you are an experienced candidate, then employment-related questions/achievements come second.
- Why did you choose (functional area/professional education) for your career?
- They might ask you technical questions thereafter (which I think is basically your question; let's see if other seniors answer this).
- What do you know about our company? Have you visited our website (Note: it's very important to visit the company website and understand their business in advance).
- What do you know about this job profile?
- What are your strengths and weaknesses (Note: match your strengths relevant to the position you have applied for and keep weaknesses totally irrelevant like improvement in handwriting, being too organized, being a hygiene freak. Choose something that either seems too small or could give a good impression otherwise. DON'T FAKE IF YOU ARE TOTALLY opposite. Keep it to one single point and do not include emotions like "I am very possessive," "I get hurt soon," "I don't like when...," etc).
- Have you dealt with any difficult situations successfully?
- What do you do in your free time (do not fake hobbies)?
- What is your current CTC?
- What is your expected CTC, are you open to negotiation (plan this well and be specific)?
- If selected, when can you join us?
- Do you have any questions for me? (Do not flatly deny, ask some relevant questions that you may have or at least ask about growth prospects) (Don't just ask anything for the sake of asking).
End your interview again with a warm handshake, tell them it was nice to talk to them, pass on any relevant information before you shake hands and leave, like "I would be traveling from-to, so if in case I am unable to answer the call, please send me an email, and I will call you back," etc. Something that might seem difficult for you to connect with them in case they try connecting with you for further course of action.
TIPS: Do not get frustrated in case you do not like their grilling. Stay calm, be specific and honest, listen to them when they are talking with keen interest, and interact based on their information. This will show interest. Dress formally no matter what. Be on time (15 minutes prior, not too early). Always keep a hard copy of your CV handy, keep a pen handy (do not borrow!), keep passport photographs ready, and have one legal identity proof with you.
