[QUOTE="aminajimale89, post: 216100, member: 41915"] Hi, The firm is looking to see how you approach writing and how concise your answer is. Like they mentioned, your answer does not need to be linked to commercial law or HSF Kramer. I would say it is best to use the 300 words in something you have a genuine interest in. Can be about anything that excites you, e.g., hobbies or other interests. This will come out more to the reader (grad rec) when they read your application over something you are superficially interested in. It will also potentially make you unique as they are probably aware that many people will mention things like topics in the current affairs, economy, or legal concepts. Finally, proof read and get someone from a non-law background (e.g., friend from a different course) to read your draft. This will help test whether the language you are using is too complex for a lay reader to understand. This is especially important if you are planning on writing about something very nuanced in the 300 words. I hope that helps and best of luck with the application. [/QUOTE]
