Carly Levin hosts Heidi Shepherd and Karen Febeo, talent leaders at Goodwin and Goulston & Storrs. Both former litigators explain why their interview process hasn't changed despite AI adoption. The focus: in-person connection, professional judgment, and long-term hiring. They discuss the Client Immersion Program, why law schools need to shift toward practical skills, and how associates learn judgment when document review no longer provides thousands of reps. The conclusion is straightforward. Technology changes the work. It doesn't change what matters in hiring. Judgment, relationships, and knowing when to use the tools.
