Short introductionBriefly state the range of events you have attended and how they've supported your understanding of commercial law2. Key eventsFor each event, I would include:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Name & organiser (e.g. TCLA workshop, firm open day, other virtual experience)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What you learned (e.g. practice area insights, commercial awareness, or specific skills)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Impact on you (e.g. how this shaped your interests, clarified firm preferences, or built confidence)</li> </ul>This keeps it focused on reflection for each event, rather than simply stating that you attended3. Final takeawayI would summarise how these experiences have strengthened your motivation for commercial law and informed your application to White & Case.In relation to whether you can include virtual events such as TCLA - yes, you can absolutely include them! Firms understand that applicants, especially international students, often rely on them to gain an insight into specific firms. What matters is what you gained from these events, not whether the event was in person.You could potentially add a short line for context, for example: "As an international student, virtual events such as TCLA's workshops have been particularly valuable in giving me consistent access to industry insights"I hope that helps, and best of luck with the application! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
