Hey @Jessica Booker For Percins Coie, they say to have the cover letter include:

• What attracts you to the LBA program?
• What is a recent story in the news that could impact a Perkins Coie client and what could that effect be?

In terms of content, would you suggest the cover letter to directly addresses these 2 points and have the common 'why me', 'why commercial law' or, to just have the 2 points mentioned above in the cover letter?

There does not seem to be a word count limit, but I will send Natalie an email clarifying that.

-Thanks in advance

In the webinar Natalie mentioned to only answer the questions asked. I assume they will ask the "why law and why us" in the interview. With no word count do you think 250 words for both combined is enough or should I write more ?

Hi @Jessica Booker, I am curious - out of worry to be honest - whether a firm cares if I have made previous application to their VS/TC and been rejected? Is there a limit to the number of times that I can apply? I am worried Recruitment will look down on/less favorably on my application if I have applied more than once before. Even just applications that were not submitted but started. Should I just delete my account history (assuming this is possible) or make new ones under a different email?
