[QUOTE="AJ, post: 6724, member: 543"] I don't think it's particularly necessary to mention. You're applying for a training contract to qualify as a solicitor in England and Wales and that's what frims are assessing for. There's a danger you may open yourself up to additional questions if you profess to have a "great" interest in US qualifying. Perhaps mention it as an ancillary point to why a US law firm, but I wouldn't base your answer to why Sullivan & Cromwell (or any other US firm) on this. Don't lose the aim of US qualifying. Regardless, once you get a TC/qualify, bring up the desire to cross qualify. The NY bar is a "fairly" straight forward route and a firm may pay for this (even if they don't have a US office - I know of this having been done), but its a case of one step at a time. [/QUOTE]
