Law Firms Shift to Pre-Placement Offers, Changing Campus Hiring

Law firms are changing how they hire new lawyers.

Instead of big hiring days at the end of school, they're now offering jobs to students who intern with them.

This lets the firms see how students work over time, rather than just in quick interviews.

Students like this because they get a clear job offer and can see if the firm is a good fit.

Firms are also using tools like AI to help them choose the best candidates.

This change is making law schools rethink how they prepare students for their careers.
