[QUOTE="Manifesting, post: 38021, member: 7645"] I think doing substantial research about it online already counts as evidence since you are demonstrating interest. Here are some things I would recommend that you do to strengthen the way you can talk about this in applications. [LIST] [*]I would recommend that you complete [URL='https://www.theforage.com/welcome/rsKeKbSQYGJqA5Ypg/N657yB9A9X8fgsq6e']Clifford Chance's Climate Change Global Virtual Internship[/URL] on Forage (formerly InsideSherpa), which is only comprised of a 3 tasks, so you it shouldn't require more than a handful focused hours to complete. That way you are also able to demonstrate that you know what legal work in this are would entail. [*]Network with people via events or through using your network/cold messaging. You could talk to lawyers or practitioners in the field and keep up with developments happening and understanding how they influence the commercial work. Writing about this will then show that you have taken the initiative to go beyond just reading about this issue online. [*]See if you can take up any extracurriculars or volunteer-work in this area that could support your interest and show how you are trying to make a difference. Taking up coursework, whether in school or online, might also be helpful. [/LIST] I hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
