One of the fundamental underpinnings of our judicial system is that transparency leads to a fairer and more just legal process.
The work of artificial intelligence definitely still needs to be reviewed by a lawyer.
Recently, I was cleaning out some of my old things, and I stumbled upon the offer letter I received for the first Biglaw job I had at the beginning of my career. The five-page offer letter included a lot of the expected legalese, such as my salary information, how bonuses would be calculated, and other matters. The offer letter also said that I would be considered for partnership eight years after starting work as an associate. As it turns out, I only worked at that shop for a little over a year, but reading that language reminded that most law firms used to stick to an eight-year partnership track. From discussions with my friends and colleagues, very few firms outside the elite shops still stick to an eight-year partnership track, and there are likely various reasons for this.

Telegraphing that you went to a good law school with an email address typically looks unusual.

Since it is impossible to regulate the amount of time spent on a take-home project, such projects might not be an accurate reflection of a job candidate’s abilities in a real-world setting.
Although it's polite to entertain this flight of fancy for a short time, the two experiences are not similar.
Lawyers usually want to provide concierge legal services and complete a given project for clients from start to finish. Even though clients can be involved in some parts of the process, lawyers typically prefer to handle everything by themselves either because they do not want to show how easy some tasks are or because they do not want a client to mess things up. However, clients sometimes wish to handle certain tasks themselves since this can save money, and they want to have ownership of things that need to be done during a representation. In some instances, clients can handle tasks themselves perfectly well, but lawyers should be careful when deciding whether a client can be trusted to complete a task without the involvement of a lawyer.
