Pre-Employment Projects Shouldn't Be Required For Legal Job Candidates
Briefly

Pre-employment projects in finance might help distinguish best candidates, but in the legal profession, they might not accurately reflect abilities due to the time and effort job candidates invest without billing hours.
Legal industry pre-employment tasks vary from marking up documents to discussing their impact; however, these projects may not always be beneficial due to their inability to test applicants' real-time problem-solving skills.
Finance's lower entry barriers compared to the legal industry justify the use of pre-employment projects for selecting top talent, although this may unnecessarily stress legal job candidates.
Pre-employment projects can add stress to job candidates who spend extra hours on these tasks, aiming to impress employers, raising concerns about the fairness and effectiveness of such assessments.
