Question about law firm application: what was your answer?
“We pride ourselves on being law, less ordinary. ” How do you become less ordinary? Why
does the first sentence make sense? Why should I care for explanation? (Assuming it is not a typo.)
I guess they’ve taken a bit of poetic license in order to create a play on the phrase “A life less ordinary”?
-the motto is suggesting either that either “we’re a special law firm” ( less regular) or, stronger, “we’re a law firm lacking any of the usual characteristics” (literally “less” — meaning “without” — ordinary). In both cases, the idea is they’re only interested in other ordinary employees.
Also, a catch for sneezing the words “law” and “law firm” in the English sentence; i think they have the hubris to assert “we ARE the law”, though not very convincing, though. I’m also guessing they didn’t see the alternative, more ironic pun their phrasing could suggest: “lawless ordinary”.
