[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 218918, member: 42112"] Hello! You can definitely include a mix - the question invites you to talk about any interests, extracurriculars, positions of responsibility, or achievements, so mentioning one of each seems like a great way to show variety and depth. If you are going to discuss quite a few, I would make sure to focus on quality over quantity - try to make sure you are discussing the skills and competencies to fully answer the question. For the “how you developed these” part, you don’t need to go into loads of detail - just briefly explain what you did in that activity that helped you develop that skill. It could help to structure each example like this: What was the activity -> What did you do -> What skills did you build -> How / Why is that relevant Keep it concise and purposeful - and if you can show how the skills are transferable to a legal environment, that’s also great! Good luck with your application! :) [/QUOTE]
