[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where to start with this ageism?

Legal recruiters always want to speak on the phone. If someone is serious about recruiting me, they want me on the phone; that’s SOP even in 2025.

Most of my clients have outside counsel guidelines that explicitly forbid me from using AI/LLM for their work. Their choice, not mine. At some point law firms will be pushed to buy internal LLMs and in that situation I can see the clients changing their position, but we’re several years away from that.[/quote]

It is not SOP. Legal recruiters will start by emailing or messaging on LinkedIn and THEY can choose to set up phone calls, sure. Although it’s more likely to be a video chat. I have been recruited and also hire. The last time I had a straight phone call was probably 2020. Either way, the lawyer trying to be hired should NOT be the one dictating this- trying to find someone’s phone number and cold calling them etc. That’s the difference. If they want to email you, you don’t try to call them instead.

Yeah, you anti AI people don’t get it, and you probably will retire before you ever do. No one is saying ‘I’ll just push a button and have AI write this contract for me’. But you should absolutely be using it for efficiencies and to shorten tasks, and yes. always with a human hand. Btw if you don’t think that pretty much all tech now that you use doesn’t already include AI, you are clueless. But sure, keep thinking it doesn’t apply to you. Got it. [/quote]
