[QUOTE="Abstruser, post: 13680, member: 260"] I've only ever answered these kinds of questions at interview stage (why did you choose X elective module?). I would usually explain: [LIST=1] [*]How or when I got interested in the subject; [*]What was the most interesting thing I learnt in that subject; and [*](If applicable) How I hoped to apply that subject in the future (eg through a training contract seat) [/LIST] I wouldn't worry too much about the third point if its not possible to explain it for some modules. Lots of my module choices weren't really relevant to a career in commercial law (eg human rights, advanced constitutional law). I think its generally fine to have had broad academic interests so long as you can clearly articulate why you chose to move towards commercial law anyway. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
