Stop cold-applying and start hitting up your law school alumni network for internal referrals. Human beings understand life happens, but a screening algorithm only sees a 1.5-year hole in your timeline.
How much of this was family care and how much of it was travel?
OP literally said travel in the original comment lol. And even if they don’t ask about the family sickness they can absolutely ask where they traveled to and for how long. And when are we pretending every law firm or attorney is perfectly EEOC compliant? That’s hilarious.
Can you highlight any relevant experience during or before law school instead of focusing on the gap? I wouldn’t make the gap the sole focus.
