Message: <blockquote data-quote="v123" data-source="post: 8081" data-attributes="member: 1522">Hey guys!I am in the process of applying for a TC at Orrick and in addition to their cover letter requirement (500 words), we are also required to answer 6 contextual questions. My question is what you would recommend including in the cover letter if most of the contextual questions cover things you would traditionally write (ie. I would normally explain why I chose law, why I chose the firm and why they should choose me in the cover letter but the questions essentially cover this). The questions include: -Why specifically are you interested in training at Orrick? What makes us different to the other firms you have applied for? (250 words) -Why have you decided to pursue a career as a commercial lawyer working in an international law firm? What factors and influences have affected your decision? (250 words)-Have you been following any recent news stories or events that have attracted your attention and you think would have an impact, or be of interest, to Orrick? (250 words) -What is your proudest achievement and why? This does not need to be academic related. (200 words) -Please detail academic awards, prizes or scholarships and non-academic achievements at school, university and law school (if applicable). (200 words)-Describe your involvement and positions of responsibility in any extra-curricular activities including societies, sports, charitable and voluntary work. (200 words)Thanks in advance! </blockquote>
