Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lawschoolmavrick" data-source="post: 229304" data-attributes="member: 43468">Hey, I know this question can feel a bit tricky, but it’s really a brilliant opportunity to show that you’ve done thoughtful research and can link what you admire about the firm to the kind of solicitor you hope to become.For example, as a non-law student, my limited exposure to law initially came from TV shows like Suits and The Good Fight. One thing I noticed from those shows is the emphasis on pro bono work, and I also developed an interest in areas like ESG and competition work. I also realised the kind of lawyer I could be, and the type I didn’t want to be (Harvey!), which was surprisingly helpful for understanding my own values and style.So, for this question, if i was answering it,  I’d  research the firm’s stance on pro bono work and how they support their trainees and associates to get involved. Explore my own interests, for instance, ESG or competition work and see if there are any cases or projects the firm has been involved in that genuinely excite you. You can also draw on personal experience from open days or vacation schemes, highlighting what you noticed about the culture and how it resonated with you.The key is to make it personal but grounded in research. Don’t just say “I like the culture”, explain why and connect it to your own aspirations. Even a few concrete examples will make your answer feel specific and memorable, and will show that you’ve really thought about why Covington is the right place for you.</blockquote>
