[QUOTE="Shahil, post: 17235, member: 1239"] Hi guys, The first question for RPC's Summer Scheme application is "Tell us about your interests, including any positions of responsibility held. (400 words max)". For this question would you recommend explicitly linking anything I mention back to how the skills/interests involved are transferrable to commercial law? Or is that not entirely necessary. Similarly, should I therefore not mention any interests that are not that relatable to a legal career (e.g. music). I'm unsure because they do talk about how they look for 'personality' and 'individuals' in their applicants, so maybe they are looking for interests/skills broader than those useful to law. BTW: The other questions are "Describe why a career in commercial law appeals to you. What factors and influences have affected your decision to become a lawyer? (250 words max)". " What are your reasons for applying to the RPC Summer Scheme?" (250 Words). "Identify a current commercial issue which is relevant to a City law firm. Please explain why you consider it to be significant to the stakeholders involved." That may change what is relevant to the first question. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
