Bit of info from Travers' grad rec at their legal cheek event last night, for anyone still working on that app - in the cover letter they're looking mainly for 'why law' & 'why Travers,' with 'why you' ideally arising organically (e.g. 'Travers appeals to me because [X] aligns with my interests/values, which I hold because [Y].') I very much got the impression that they are not looking for you to pitch skills/competencies in the cover letter, at least not as a discrete element - that said, I imagine many of us have 'because I think I'll be good at it' as part of our 'why law' so I think there's room to sprinkle a bit in on that front.
