Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 211587" data-attributes="member: 36777">I think your White & Case cover letter should cover the same big 3 sections as any other (Why commercial law, Why firm, Why you), but writing it is complicated by two factors: (i) the other application form questions; and (ii) the high word count limit. Taken together, this makes it difficult to avoid repetition of experiences/achievements. I have two tips in this regard:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Be strategic with your use of experiences/achievements: think from the get-go roughly how many you will need for the cover letter and each section and determine what goes where before you actually start writing. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">In the cover letter, should you find it difficult to talk at length about competencies and experiences, make the 'Why the firm' analysis more substantial than you normally would. This will also give you more of an opportunity to showcase the depth of your knowledge of the firm. </li> </ol></blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
