A skill is something that you can actively do (e.g. legal analysis or drafting)2. A trait or characteristics is more about how you tend to behave or think when using those skills (e.g. collaborative, analytical, or commercially minded)3. Culture describes the shared values and expectations of the organisation as a whole (e.g. how people at this specific organisation typically work together and what the firm rewards in practice).For the Ropes & Gray question, I would say it's best to strike a balance - you don't need to list very generic qualities alone (such as "good communication"), but you also shouldn't go so narrow that you sound overly technical. I'd aim to discuss some broader qualities that show you would be a strong trainee generally, while also highlighting a few more specific characteristics that Ropes & Gray particularly values.Best of luck! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
