[QUOTE="Romiras, post: 11429, member: 1993"] The CV should be concise. You do not need an introduction paragraph (or any type of prose to introduce yourself, anywhere). Your CV should generally have these headings: Education-Legal Work Experience-Non Legal Work Experience-Extracurricular Activities. You can have a 2 page CV. Unless you have 'too much' to include in your CV, such that you cannot fit everything in 2 pages. If this is the case, it usually means you're either populating each 'experience' with too many words or you genuinely have too much going on. If it is the latter case, then you can tailor your CV to the firm by picking the most relevant experiences (S&M Open Days; Relevant Law Events; etc). If it is the former case, you just need to only have three bullet points of the most relevant / substantial things related to the experience, with Commercial Law in mind. Individual Modules should be included in your CV, regardless of the online application process. The cover letter should just cover "Why Slaughter and May" and "Why You". Normally you'd talk about "Why Commercial Law" prior to "Why the Firm", but it's meant to be a very concise letter, max one page long. It should be implicit that you want to pursue a career in Commercial Law, because you're applying to Slaughter and May. [/QUOTE]
