This year the questions are: [LIST] [*]Please address your cover letter to Nick Wong, Graduate Recruitment Partner. This is an opportunity to tell us about yourself, your skills, achievements and why you want to train as a solicitor. (1000 words) [*]What qualities does a successful lawyer of the future require? (250 words) [*]How is the legal landscape changing and what are the challenges facing Ashurst? (250 words) [*]How is Ashurst different to other firms you have applied to? (250 words) [/LIST] I'm quite stuck on: [B]How is the legal landscape changing and what are the challenges facing Ashurst? (250 words)[/B] I think 'legal' is throwing me off. I was hoping to take about a geopolitical issue e.g. presidential elections but the reasonings I would give are more political than legal I think. Does anyone have any experience of this question or any ideas? Thanks! :) [/QUOTE]
