Major law firms have started recruiting Harvard Law School students earlier, sparking concerns about the impact on students' careers and legal education.

Harvard Law School students are being recruited by major law firms earlier than usual. This change has raised concerns about the impact on students' careers and legal education. The HLS student government has condemned the accelerated timelines, citing concerns about the quality of students' legal education.
