Most law students send the same CV to every firm. It is the one a senior shared two years ago, with a name swap and a new internship appended at the bottom. The font is Times New Roman 11pt. It opens with a two-line objective statement that means nothing. It closes with references available on request.
The CV cell at your law school told you it was fine. Nobody at the firm ever said otherwise. The only signal you got was silence.
The CV Analyser on Locus gives you the signal. Upload your CV and get back an AI grade, line-by-line edits, a firm-fit score benchmarked against Tier-1, Tier-2, and boutique standards, and the specific weaknesses you need to fix.
What It Actually Checks
Not just formatting. Content. Whether your internship descriptions quantify anything. Whether your moot achievements show rank or just participation. Whether you are listing skills that no hiring partner has cared about since 2009. Whether the top third of your CV earns the next 54 seconds.
It benchmarks your CV against the profiles that actually get shortlisted — not the mythologised version, the real one. The analysis is direct. It names the problem and tells you how to fix it.
Why It Exists
The feedback loop in legal hiring is broken. You apply, you hear nothing, you do not know why. The CV Analyser closes that loop. Students who use it before their next application cycle are not applying blind. They know what they are fixing.
The brutal honest feedback your law school CV cell would not give you. Free. In 60 seconds.
