[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 49153, member: 5063"] Hi Lauren, Great question! The girls have already given some great advice, I would personally approach a question like this very much as Dheepa suggests. The one thing I also discussed in a 'why this firm' answer (I would tend to say that your situation is just a slight variation on this) is that it's important to be pragmatic and part of that means spreading your wings further. It wouldn't be pragmatic to only apply to one firm, irrespective of the ties you already have there, due to the fact that, at any one time, you're competing with top graduates and students in a highly competitive industry. Although this is less of a 'political' answer than other elements, I personally always found it relatively well-received as it showed a greater degree of maturity and insight into the legal job market.
