[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 189360, member: 36777"] Hi [USER=35320]@tosin4774[/USER]! If the question is formulated as a broad 'discuss a commercial topic that interests you', you do not necessarily have to discuss an affected practice area. The only things that you must do are analyze the topic and provide an explanation as to why it interested you. However, if you can discuss specific practice areas effects I think this shows good commercial awareness skills. As such, I would perhaps advise you to either (i) try to integrate the practice area link into your general analysis of the topic; or (ii) explain that, since you have an interest in that specific practice area, one of the reasons why you found the story interesting was exactly because it affected the work lawyers do in this practice. For either (i) or (ii) if you can also mention how the story particularly influences either the specific firm's practice area or its specific clients (which you could consider name dropping) - I think that would make your answer stand out even more.
