[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 121110, member: 2672"] There isn't a certain way or technique - I have seen many different approaches work to this question. However my key advice is: [LIST] [*]Pick something you are genuinely interested and knowledgeable about [*]Explain where the interest has come from. [*]Unless the question specifically says so, it doesn't have to be connected to the law firm in anyway - I have seen great answers from everything from 16th-century architecture, a particular wine region, martial arts, manga etc [*]Try to avoid a topic that is closely related to your degree or that you have covered in something like an extended essay or dissertation - this is an opportunity to show there is something different/additional about you - consider it an opportunity to show another "string-to-your-bow" rather than something the rest of your application demonstrates clearly already (same goes for work experience) [*]If suitable for the topic, be willing to show/hold an opinion on it. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
