[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 2121, member: 1"] Great question. I used to do something very similar. I'd have many pages of research and I'd have to work out what to use in my application. What I did first was condense my notes even further into themes -- like the ones you mentioned. Then, I'd pretty much choose anything that stood out to me. Alternatively, at times, I'd see something keep popping up about a firm. Maybe that it was really good at finance or heavily invested in legal tech. I'd then highlight that in my cover letter. If nothing stands out to you and nothing keeps cropping out, just try to choose something that seems a bit different to you. Something that all firms don't necessarily have/do. For example, it would be quite generic to talk about trainees have access to a mentor during their training contract. On the other hand, it might be interesting to note that the firm operates a "reverse mentoring scheme" whereby junior lawyers give advice to senior partners. [/QUOTE]
