Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 232821" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hi!You can absolutely go with something outside corporate or commercial law! For this type of question, the key isn't necessarily to pick a "law-related" event (and it can usually work to your advantage to pick something outside of law) - I would aim to show thoughtfulness and reflection in your answer. A historical, scientific, or cultural moment can work just as well, particularly if you tie it back to why it matters to you personally or why you find it interesting.Even if you don't choose a commercial event, you can still make a subtle connection to law (or values you admire in legal work) without it feeling forced. For example, you could potentially choose a landmark civil rights case or a famous trial that you found interesting. You can even go fully outside law but highlight certain skills or traits that would be beneficial in law - e.g. analytical thinking, ethics, problem-solving, etc.I would say that the main thing to avoid is a cliche "big corporate deal" answer unless you have a genuinely unique angle or a past experience that demonstrates why it particularly resonated with you - your idea of linking it to law but not commercial law sounds like it can work well!Ultimately, I would answer the question truthfully, even if this is outside of law. This is likely to be the most genuine and reflective answer, and will read a lot better than trying to force an overly commercial angle <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
