Baker McKenzie Spring Application Question

[Gargi Pandit]

Hi all,

I've started doing the application for a Spring vac scheme at the firm recently. This is one of the questions that is on their form and I'm having a hard time with it -

"Tell us about something - anything - that excites and inspires you."

I was thinking about the evolution of legal technology and the opportunities/challenges the legal industry faces (mainly because I am going to start an LLM in Technology, Media and Telecommunications shortly, so I thought I could link it back to this)...Also, my research has shown that the firm seems to be quite keen on encouraging different forms of tech-based innovation globally, so I thought this might be particularly relevant to them as well.

Any thoughts?

It doesn’t have to be anything about law.

However if this is something that truly “excites and inspires” you, then just make sure you sell it as a topic. You are going to have to make your reader see the inspiration and excitement in what you are talking about.
