I am currently applying for the Shoosmiths Insight Evening and slightly confused how to approach the question 'Describe why a legal career appeals to you.' Can this be answered by explaining why a career in commercial law appeals to me or does it have to be more generic?

I think most (if not all) applicants get invited, so it shouldn't matter too much either way. Being more specific would be good practice for later, more competitive applications though.
