[QUOTE="LawyerUpPal, post: 189396, member: 27096"] I wouldn't use this for this question in an application. The point of this question is to test whether you know what commercial law is and, more importantly, what a commercial lawyer does. This is, as you mention, a great opener for 'why law', but tangential for why commercial law which is more unique- a hybrid of business and law. I would dig deeper in your work/education experience. If you've done a vacation scheme, worked in any business plus your studies (if law) for eg. I have in the past, when asked at interview 'why law' given a wider answer. That is, I would say what attracted me to law generally especially if it is profound (like your example above) and then qualify my affinity for commercial law specifically. [/QUOTE]
