[QUOTE="James Carrabino, post: 115159, member: 16764"] [USER=20043]@Raynz[/USER] I think that the cover letter is very short and so you do not need to spend much time at all discussing the firm, as you already have another question for that. In the firm-specific question you can go into all the unique details about the firm that demonstrate your research of the firm and why you are attracted to them. In the cover letter, I would introduce yourself and where you are in life right now, before beginning by discussing 'Why Law'. Then I would devote a small portion towards 'Why Commercial Law' specifically, in which you could possibly draw in broad themes about the firm and how that piques your interest e.g. if it is a large international firm then you can discuss your motivations to work at a large international firm. Finally, do 'Why Me', including skills and all, and then sign off :) [/QUOTE]

Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
