[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 217266, member: 42112"] Hi [USER=37628]@dannyp123[/USER] ! I think pro bono can definitely be a nice addition, particularly if you have experience that genuinely links to it. A lot of firms highlight their pro bono work as part of their culture, and some even allow trainees to complete a seat in the pro bono department, so showing that it resonates with you can make your motivations feel more rounded. I've mentioned firms' pro bono work in applications before - usually by picking out specific initiatives they're involved in and explaining why they stood out to me. That approach has been received positively and led to my application being progressed, so I'd say it can definitely be a strong addition! I'd just make sure it comes across as authentic and ties back to your own values / experiences, rather than feeling like an "extra" point attached to the end of your answer :) [/QUOTE]
