The traditional law firm recruiting process, which focuses on one year of law school performance at a small number of law schools, fails to identify additional high-quality talent, particularly from first generation law students and those from nontraditional backgrounds. If we want to bring innovation to the law, we must improve the way we evaluate candidates during and after law school.
Our Recruiting Process:
We recruit from top 25 law schools and strong state, regional, and Historically Black College and University (HBCU) law schools across the country.
We engage and interview candidates on campus over the course of an entire year. We get to know our candidates’ personalities, in addition to their legal and professional skills, before we make our hiring decisions.
