Hi, I have a first round phone interview with LECG for an entry level analyst position in a couple of days. I have never done consulting interviews before and don't know what you expect. I am a finance major at a non-target school. Got this finance interview by applying online. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I actually interviewed for an internship position this past summer for one of their west coast offices. From my experience, the phone interview was all fit. Why consulting? tell me a little about yourself? Do you know what we do? our group? Do you have any questions?
In the phone interview they do most of the talking. Just listen, be yourself and answer the questions smoothly. This should be enough to get you the first round interview.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.
Brush up on basic microeconomics, probability/stats/metrics, and anything you took a class on.
I am currently in economic/mgmt consulting shop atm and these interviews are slightly different than typical mgmt/strat shops.
LECG, (like Analysis Group, Cornerstone, NERA, CRA, etc.), I believe, focuses on economic/litigation consulting -- basically providing expert testimony, discovery, and other litigation assistance directly to parties of a suit but more often to counsel.
Anyways, like Hayek said: brush up on your micro/macro, econometrics, etc -- especially if you took a class in it.
One shop I interviewed with asked soft(ER) questions like: have you ever modeled? have you taken econometrics? have you done any regression modeling? what's your economics thesis about (if applicable), etc.
Another place I interviewed with asked fit questions and then all of the sudden asked me? what is homoskedascity?
I'd be prepared for both
True.
Also the 1st round LECG interview will likely be more technical than the 1st rounds at other firms.
I interviewed with one of the above mentioned firms through three rounds and every single interview had some type of case. First round was more of a general securities lawsuit type case but eventually it got to antitrust cases and ones containing linear regression analysis.
