You would almost have a point except that the objective of the exercise (working through a degree program) is to produce exactly the graduate work which is intended to be submitted to the scrutiny of career gate-keepers. It's the whole point of a law student's "academic career", and they've all tacitly submitted themselves to that scrutiny. Imagine the following interview for a clerk's position:
"So, I see you attended an Ivy League institution. Tell me about what you did there."
"Well, I started a lot of fires, not just little fires in trashcans, but big ones! With mattresses and tires and stuff!"
"I see. Well, what kind of work did you do?"
"I mostly punched people who didn't look like they could fight back and screamed at people who looked like the could. There was a lot of running away, too."
"No, I mean, what was your academic capstone project?"
"Oh, I wanted to examine the environmental interaction between the adhoc subculture of the jury and the larger gestalt of the local surrounding community from which they were drawn with regards to physical and psychological influence."
"Oh, huh. And how did that work?"
"I experimented by going to public debates in which the debaters would serve as analogues to empaneled jurists and threw rocks through windows from both the outside AND the inside to see if it produced and different effects and the course of the debate."
"I hope that isn't something you'd still do in our courtroom!"
"Oh, no. I've grow a lot since then."
"Good!"
"Yeah, today I would block all the fire escapes, hit the gallery with teargas, dox the jury, and SWAT the legal team of the defendant/complainant/prosecution or whatever."
I don't know about you, but I would not give this applicant and even, fair chance at the job.
But he’s announcing it like they do with Trump’s attorneys or Jan 6th protesters.
