[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 213934, member: 36740"] Hey, So generally, the structure comes in three-fold; why commercial law (not just why law as you need to be precise), why the firm, and why you. In the why you section, you could tend to focus on more substantial/academic/ work experience elements, as opposed to extracurriculars, seeing as there is a section on that already. Even if you feel to mention those, do so lightly as the dedicated application question was created to enable you to expand on it in more detail/ introduce other discussions and elements. Another thing is that you can mention a point twice in both the cover letter and application question - just paraphrase it and make the application question description more backed up. I would personally not re-use points for both sections - and this is my subjective opinion. If I were a recruiter, I would love to read fresh things, so try to look deep into your portfolio and I’m sure you’ll find different yet relevant things to include. However, I can also understand why one may want to re-use points if they are truly relevant and I do not think you will be penalized heavily for this. [/QUOTE]
