With a tight 100-word limit, can someone suggest the best way to answer "why Goodwin"?

Should I only talk about one practice area?
Is it necessary to explain my interest in the firm usind work experience example?
Can I give 2-3 reasons and keep it very breif ?

I have typically seen 2-3 reasons (doesn't just have to be practice areas) covered well - you just have to be ridiculously concise.

You don't have to utilise describing your work experience though as that will be elsewhere in your application (assuming their is a work experience section).

Thanks Jess. I am just thinking of the best approach to take
So when I mentioned 2-3 reasons I was referring to like i.e. Firm's work,/practice, reputation, interactions with members of firm.

Also re work experience my approach was to for example, I am attracted to the firm's strength in technology & life sciences and then link my experience of product managing legal tech tools and link my skills to role of a lawyer.

You don't need to link your skills - this is trying to show your aptitude not your motivation.
