Its worth a go and up to you if you want to use your time that way. Employers sure don't mind taking your time to interview and then turning you down for any reason they come up with, and I encourage that interviewees have the same opportunity.
Don’t hurt to apply. If you get an interview or screener you can get more of a temperature check on in-office requirements.
Ugh *doesn’t. Wrote this at 2am when barely awake.
If it says on-site, chances are the screener will confirm that you live locally and are able to come on-site every day. At that point you can be honest and say you can’t or ask about flexibility, but the screener will probably say there’s no flexibility. Or you can keep going in the interview process and take the chance that you can negotiate hybrid later (personally I would not find it worth it to go through the whole interview process). Finally you can take the job at 5 days in office but based on the culture and what you see, gradually/eventually just be more flexible about the time you are there if you see people don’t care. Also a risk.
I think it's worth applying and understanding what their in-office requirements actually look like. But IME, Legal is not carved out from any attendance requirement, especially for large orgs.
