[QUOTE="Umair Patel, post: 216227, member: 41961"] Hey, this is a great question! It can be very difficult to try connect yourself to firms, especially when legal experience is so difficult to come by. Often it is the case that your answers might be missing just one extra point or sentence. You can make a good point e.g. "I am interested in x firm for their strength in Disputes", and then give the evidence for that. But the key is to then link this back to you. Why do you find a firm's excellence in a specific practice area important? Take Disputes for example, you might enjoy work that is research intensive and strategic. Perhaps you've had experiences (not necessary legal!) that require such skills - that can provide a slight edge and make it much more personalised to you. Whenever writing the application, read it back and ask "why is that important to me?". This will help you stay on track, hope that helps somewhat! [/QUOTE]
