What do you mean what?
You, a young millenial male, sit at home with with no job and crusty socks, denied by 5s on okc, with 100k in educational debt, and you're fashioning an 'interests' section on a resume to ensure potential corporate employers you are as bland, obedient and politically correct as they come, so some affirmative action hire in HR can forward your resume and you can begin the bean counting you will call your career in the downwardly mobile society of a decaying country.
What do you think frontiersman, explorer and surveyor of unknown lands Meriwhether Lewis would think about the interests section on your resume?

Depends on the position. If this is for a summer associate position, definitely find something interesting to put in there. Most of your interviews are just going to be shooting the shit.
But be warned that you'll look dumb if you're not actually interested in your interests.

what do you talk about with people you just meet? a sports team? movies? anything?
you just need something for some dude to be like "Oh you like the 49ers? What do you think of Kaepernicks new deal?"
or "Oh you like fantasy novels? Do you watch Game of Thrones?"

TCR is: one thing that seems smart (e.g., 18th c. literature), one thing that's sporty (e.g., golf), one thing that's cultural or artistic (e.g., photography).
But make sure this is all shit you want to talk about in an interview.

It goes for legal interviews too.
(1) People want to shoot the shit in interviews. Think of your interests as giving the person you're interviewing a chance to "layover" test you - see if they'd want to spend a two hour delay with you.
(2) People love seeing talent. Being a state champion duck caller or a carpenter who is restoring an old house makes you stand out. No one gives a shit if you like jazz music, but they will like that you play jazz music every Friday at some bar.

Just do lie your ass off, bro.
I listed "play in 80s throwback band" for a while. It was a straight up lie. I literally talked to a partner about it for like 10 minutes, not flame.

not something so general that it is meaningless fluff (e.g. WGWWG)
not something that a significant number of people oppose or find repulsive (e.g. AGWWG)
something that is respectable, but so niche that any employer who remotely shares in that interest will have a feeling of near-kinship with you (e.g. WGWAG)

I have one or two interesting ones that I put on there; I can speak intelligently for a few minutes about them so it comes across like they are actual interest instead of just saying masturbating and ranting against the urban elite
When I started to get serious interviews it actually helped, I would say 50% of the time they circled it and at the and wanted to talk about it and gave me an opportunity to not be a corporate automaton for a few minutes

I have reviewed thousands of resumes and the only "interests" section I can remember is from a woman who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro without supplemental oxygen. I think it is of little value and you will not be dinged for skipping it. I am not sure law recruiters want to hire people with interests anyway. I had a life before law school and was told by an honest interviewer at OCI that if I did one more thing it would be "damn near fatal." He said that law sucked so much that they didn't like to hire people who had other options, as they would invariably leave and go do something else. And this was 45 years ago - imagine today.
Of course I am obsolete, so if the placement people strongly suggest you put something in, make it look applicable to law - something that would aid getting clients for example. At least make sure it's active rather than passive, e.g., playing music > listening to music. If a firm claims it is doing holistic hiring you can be sure it's a lie.

you do know you're about to get rejected/fired once you start talking about hobbies or "interests" with your employer
they're not your friends or even sentient entities, their goal is to extract as much value as possible at the lowest bidder along with countless other parameters
but interests? yeah, you're fucked. it's over.
oh and also, fuck companies that do this i.e. try to turn a job, any job into a fucking 'lifestyle' or any hint of entrepreneurship
check the numbers now and look how that turned out

There was some thread on XO a couple of years back titled "It says on your resume that your interests include "debunking the holohoax" can you..."
