This is a great point.
In many other fields (medicine, law) people study a standardized body of knowledge, take a standard test and then get a license so they can do something others cannot.
However, this doesn't prevent a lot of awful and a lot of great people getting through. You would still need to interview a lot of them. I wonder if it sets a minimal level.
- ghaff 5y agoFor the top law firms, things are pretty straightforward. You have to pass the bar, there's the school you went to, your class rank at the school, internships and clerkships, and then associates are largely up or out. I assume it actually works pretty well but there's obviously a huge amount of gatekeeping involved.
