In a new article in The American Lawyer, co-hiring partner Sarah Davidoff discusses how AI literacy and enthusiasm are becoming important factors in attorney recruiting, as familiarity with AI tools and their applications in legal practice has become increasingly important, particularly for entry-level talent.
Sarah describes a new prompt added to Ropes & Gray's 2L summer program application this spring, asking candidates to explain what they are doing day-to-day to keep up with AI development as it relates to their future practice of law. She notes the range of responses the firm has received, from students whose law schools restrict AI use to those actively integrating AI into their coursework and envisioning specific use cases as junior associates.
