It’s just job description boilerplate. If you’re a good candidate, it’s not gonna matter.

It says 1-3. These year ranges are always what they'd like to have, but at the junior level they take what they can get. 1-3 years means "we'll hire whoever has the creative chops and if we have to train you less as a junior that's a bonus"

Been standard for at least the last decade

I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
