Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 190134" data-attributes="member: 36777">Hi [USER=35327]@a1024[/USER] so to separate the questions:A. For structuring, as in other cases you can make a number of different approaches work, but I would go for something like:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Explain a development taking place in the legal industry, and take care to focus on showing why this has been innovative - how is it different from the previous status quo. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Explain how the development has generally impacted the work of commercial solicitors: are there any type of mandates that are more or less in demand as a result, processes that have been automize, particular skills that have become more or less useful as a result etc. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Explain how the development impacts the work of Dentons lawyers specifically - impact to specific practice areas the firm focuses on, on its key sectors, impact to the needs of particular important classes of clients, etc. </li> </ol>B. As for what number of developments, there is no specific figure I can quote you. Somewhat unhelpfully, I think it depends on (i) the subject matter of the development itself - how much information do you have to convey for your answer to make sense; (ii) whether a given development can be connected with other developments you are considering writing about; and (iii) the level of depth you want to go into. For the depth vs breath issue, the general rule is that depth takes priority. However, do not feel the need to show off your knowledge unnecessarily. For instance, say you have already covered everything central as to the explanation of a development and its impacts in one paragraph. In this case, instead of writing another paragraph covering more tangential points, I think it is better to choose a new development to write about. C. As for referencing sources, I would likely do it as I am introducing a point - "As discussed in a recent FT article by ...". You do not think to provide full references, but just enough information to allow the reader to easily identify a resource on a google source. In practice this will likely only include the name of the publication and/or name of author and/or title.</blockquote>
