    I think why law is your interest in law holistically so for example why did you initially think about doing law and why it interests you. Why commercial law is why you want to work at a commercial firm rather than go down another legal route such as barrister or why you want to work with companies.

    I am fairly certain that they are partially non-rolling. Unless anyone knows otherwise I think they give out VI & AC invites after the deadline but review on a rolling basis.
