[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 1864, member: 1"] It's fine to repeat something descriptive about a firm from the website -- be it a strength in a practice area or statistics about a firm's retention rates -- as long as you are writing about [I]why [/I]it appeals to you. If you are writing why, you shouldn't find yourself telling them something they know, because your reasons will be personal to you. I would research a law firm (back then The Lawyer was not behind a paywall, so this was a little easier). I would then identify 2-3 aspects of the firm that interested me and explain why -- using evidence to back up my points where I could. I didn't describe a deal too often in my applications, so I'll leave that to someone else! [/QUOTE]
