Question on non-law graduate studies

[sarg1234]

Hi all,

Last year I was successful in getting to the interview stage, and something that was really strong about my applications was that (as a non-law candidate) I could talk about how I studied medieval law as part of my undergraduate degree and this is why I wanted to practice law. I've just finished up my master's degree, but the focus was not on law but on medieval poetry. I was wondering whether this is something I should try and reconcile with my previous (and genuine interest) in law, or if I should focus on transferable skills (I used novels statistical techniques), or if I should simply ignore it and focus on what I did do during that time that shows a more direct interest in law.

Thanks,

As a non law graduate who secured a TC this cycle with a US firm the only time I mentioned my degree (history) was to mention how it developed my critical thinking, analytical skills and ability to write clearly and concisely.

Use any other experiences or supra curricular to show your actual interest in law itself.
