[QUOTE="futuretraineesolicitor, post: 116180, member: 4098"] Hello, [USER=16764]@James Carrabino[/USER] [USER=17165]@George Maxwell[/USER] [USER=17155]@AvniD[/USER] . Hope you all are doing well. This might be a stupid question but I'd be grateful if someone could clarify it for me. 1. When interviewers ask you "Why law?" vs. when they ask you "Why commercial law?", how is our answer supposed to differ? I'm assuming that with the former, we are being asked why we chose to do a law degree (if we are a law student) but for the other question, the interviewer is looking for our story that highlights the elements of commercial law that we like as explained by our experiences. 2. I'm also wondering if it'd be okay to clarify this during the interview since no approach is really set in stone IMO. 3. Also, for "Why commercial law?", should we automatically cover why we want to pursue it at a big law firm in London as opposed to pursuing it in our home country? (I'm from India and never been to the UK) Or, should we wait for the interviewer to ask us "Why London?" separately? Chances are I have asked this question on the forum but I'm still sure that I don't get it. Would be grateful if someone could please clarify. [/QUOTE]
