[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 243113, member: 42112"] Hey! Generally, firms will use an "additional information" question as a catch-all and the space is best used for things that do not fit neatly elsewhere but add context or strength to your application. Some things that you might include are: [LIST] [*]Contextual information (e.g. mitigating circumstances, alternative routes into law, or working alongside your studies) [*]Responsibilities or achievements that don't fit elsewhere in the work experience section [*]International background, language skills, or qualifications in other countries [*]A brief link between your profile and the firm if there is something distinctive that you haven't had a chance to talk about elsewhere [/LIST] I would generally avoid repeating your CV in full, or a full "why this firm" answer. It may also be possible to leave this question blank, as a lot of firm's make it optional - I would definitely avoid filling it in just for the sake of it, if possible. I hope that helps! :) [/QUOTE]
