[QUOTE="Prudentia, post: 233541, member: 42700"] Personally, and this is just a very unwashed opinion, I’d keep it out of VS/TC applications and save it for a point in your career where it clearly complements, rather than competes with, your commitment to the firm. At VS/TC stage, firms are focused on whether you’re fully committed to private practice and to building your early career with them. Even a brief mention of judicial ambitions (however distant or part-time) can be read, fairly or unfairly, as signalling that private practice is a stepping stone rather than the destination. Some recruiters are relaxed about that, but others can be quite cautious. [/QUOTE]
