[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 51118, member: 1160"] Don't worry about lack of day to day work detail - most responses I see which focus on that really just describe what lawyers do and fail to link this back to why they want to be one. Sure, it is fine to talk about the work but only provided you make that link and use personal evidence. I think this sounds good. Being quite critical (but to help!) try to avoid words like intellectually stimulating etc as this is quite cliche and just be mindful that many people applying might be able to say the same thing about wanting to get good grades etc. The real strength in what you say above is that mooting point and constructing arguments, thinking on your feet and having to process complex info - that is all very true for the role of a commercial solicitor and it is great evidence to use to support your motivational points.
