It’s common for employers to want graduates, or even worse already sworn in graduates, for post-law school hiring. Still worth looking though, all you need is the one exception to the rule…
I have noticed that trend. I know a few classmates who claim to “have a job lined up” and I do want to widen my net to include other states but no one in their right mind plans to sit 50 bar exams just to have a wide net.
