Under my duty to my current employer, I am bound not to bash "Big Law".
Suffice it to say, it's not all it's cracked up to be... there are obviously advantages and disadvantages involved

I can always tell them which courses I enjoyed, but there is probably a big difference in between a course and real practice.

My recommendation is to talk to lawyers working in areas that you might be interested in. Learn about what they do and why they enjoy it, and see if you are the same. That way, even though you may not have any first hand experience, you've educated yourself about that practice area and can give the interviewer an intelligent (and truthful) answer. It's funny to hear students (myself included) say that they are interested in "corporate law" when they really have no idea what that actually is...
