Agree with your last observation. One reaction that I have to this is that it shows how broken law firms are, in how they think about what they need from their lawyers and how they're going to try to serve their clients. Most businesses understand that different applicants for a job will bring a range of different skills to it. It takes a peculiarly insulated view of your organization's business to think that beyond a certain minimum set of qualifications, the only thing that really matters is whether you mesh with the current employees.
